“When I found the lump, I just wanted it gone. I knew I could beat breast cancer.”
— Norma
Norma is 32, and a breast cancer survivor. As a pharmacy tech at the SOMC Cancer Center, she is using her personal experience to offer encouragement, hope and words of wisdom to her patients. She says that she was determined to get well so she could help others.
She wants women to know that cancer can strike women under the age of 40. Factors such as family history increase your risk.
With one in eight women diagnosed with cancer, the greatest risk, however, is simply being a woman.
