Meet Cynthia Johnson

Cynthia was diagnosed with stage II Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in 2018 one year before was old enough to begin regular mammograms. Her lump was found by accident and could easily be felt by lightly touching her breast. Cynthia underwent a lumpectomy, 4 rounds of chemo, and 22 rounds of radiation. She is now undergoing monthly Zoladex injections and daily Anastrazole which she will take for the next 5-10 years to prevent a recurrence. Cynthia feels that hormone therapy is by far the hardest part of her journey as there is no end in sight to the medical menopause, body pain, and countless side effects. Cynthia shares her breast cancer journey publicly on social media to ensure that women can have an honest window into a breast cancer journey. Cynthia is one half of the team and Creative Director behind Our Like Vibes, a certified global educator with the Know Your Lemons Foundation, a member of Alpha Kappa Sorority, Inc., and a proud Bajan.
