💨 Abstract

The author shares her journey of battling stage 3 HER2-positive breast cancer, from discovering a lump in October 2024 to completing treatment and achieving remission. She underwent chemotherapy, a mastectomy, and radiotherapy, staying active throughout. Her early detection was crucial—delaying it by six months could have led to secondary cancer. To raise awareness and funds, she organized an ultramarathon, proving resilience. She emphasizes the importance of early breast cancer detection and encourages regular checks.
