She Was 33, Pregnant, And Diagnosed with Breast Cancer

From AFGE

AFGE Local 252 member Aleseia Saunders was 32 when she felt a lump in her right breast. Being so young with no family history of breast cancer, she shrugged it off as being a cyst and went on with her life. During that same time, she found out she was pregnant with her first child.

During a trip to her OBGYN for pregnancy confirmation, she received good news that she was indeed pregnant. The doctor also did a breast exam and recommended having a biopsy done at a nearby hospital, which she did.
