Meet Yahira Torres

Yahira Torres is a 33 years old, a mother to three boys, For the Breast of Us Baddie Ambassador, and founder of Pride Retreat. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2020 after she found her own lump on her right breast. Shortly after she tested positive for a genetic mutation that is predisposed to cancer (BRCA2). With that information, she and her medical team decided to do a double mastectomy, 16 rounds of chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation, and a salpingo-oophorectomy. She is currently on hormonal therapy and hoping to have reconstruction surgery in the near future.
