Jessica Baladad, a 5-year cancer survivor, shares her powerful story of resilience and advocacy after being diagnosed with stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma in college. Despite her doctor's dismissive attitude, Jessica's self-exam detected a lump that led to her diagnosis. She underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, radiation, and reconstructive surgery. Determined to help others, Jessica founded the "Feel For Your Life" app, providing free resources on self-breast exams and cancer screening. Her personal experience and mission to empower women globally have made her a passionate advocate for early detection and preventative care. Jessica's story highlights the importance of self-exams and regular medical check-ups, even for young women, as cancer does not discriminate by age. Early detection through proactive healthcare like mammograms can be lifesaving. Her story serves as a powerful reminder for all women to prioritize their breast health, regardless of age or assumptions.
