What began as a warning sign quickly became a life-changing diagnosis for Roxana. When she discovered a lump in her breast, she assumed it was another benign cyst.

Instead, she learned she had breast cancer — the same disease that had taken her mother’s life.

Because the cancer was detected early, Roxana was able to receive treatment. But overcoming the disease came with challenges of its own.

Her treatment disrupted her education and left her facing difficult questions about her future fertility.

Through it all, Roxana found strength in the people around her. From the support of her breast cancer group to the unwavering presence of her brother, Ronney, she learned just how important a strong support system can be during the fight against cancer.
