I was discouraged from sharing my breast cancer story, but I knew I had to be an advocate for others. My journey has taught me the importance of supporting each other and breaking down barriers for women of color facing breast cancer.
There is still this lack of addressing medical history, passing general history, and education from generation to generation. We are still in the early awareness stage in some Asian communities when it comes to women’s health.
I am proud to be an Asian American breast cancer survivor because of all the people that came before me. It is through their struggles and their strengths and their stories that I am who I am today. I can only hope to do them just as proud.
I am self-conscious of certain things, no matter how strong I may appear.
