I watched this in tears ❤️ Tess, you are incredibly courageous. You have handled this like a champ and I’ve never been more proud. You are going to help more people than you think. It is so important to trust your gut and advocate for yourself. I love you and can’t wait to give you a big (gentle) hug ❤️❤️ Let’s all give a HUGE thank you to the doctors and nurses and people who study these things and work their butts off to help. And to Tess for being such a strong woman!

The third doctor said I need a mammogram. I called the radiology receptionist said I can’t have mammogram because I am under 30 years(I’m 23), first she said I need a ultrasound, because the mammogram has a lot of radiation.

What diet are you on? I am struggling not sure what to eat. I found the lump underneath my arm. Both breasts tested positive for cancer, so did a double mastectomy in 2021. Completed treatment in February this year. But struggling with diet. My cancer is HER2 Positive. Lost my big sister to breast cancer in 2017. When she found the lump the size of a pea she got scared and hid it and when she decided to do something about it it was too late. It had already spread and reached stage 4. My cancer has been staged a 3.

I have watched you for what feels like my entire teenage and adult years. I am 23 now and watching your video was so comforting. My sister was diagnosed with cancer last year and our whole world froze too - nothing else matters except the health and safety of your loved ones. Today, I still struggle with how fast our whole lives were turned upside in one phone call too. Watching you talk about this, is so so comforting. I saw your video post and just now found the strength to watch and it completely brought me to last year all over again. Tess, you are so strong and brave for sharing and your journey reminds me so much of my sisters. My sister is almost 6 months cancer free now. Thank you for sharing, it helps everyone feel less alone.

I am a second year nursing who has been experiencing pain in my breasts for the past year, but since I'm only 20 and work with sick patients all the time, my doctor disregarded my fears as just being a hypochondriac. Hearing what you had to say is pushing me to advocate for myself, so I just booked an appointment with a different doctor next week and I am going to ask for a mammogram even if I am much younger than the recommended age. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable, terrifying experience and I wish you and your family great health.

I'm 21 and recently got a lump in my breast checked out in the hospital as well, all doctors were really reaffirming that even though it was just a clogged milk gland I made the right choice by getting it checked out and you are too! Hope everything turns out fine for you. (I got an ultrasound as my doctor said that shows the tissue of younger people's boobs better so if they suggest that don't be alarmed)

Hi Tess! I know it’s hard to share this kind of thing with people but I just want to thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma when I was 17 weeks pregnant and had to go through chemotherapy while pregnant and newly postpartum. I just got news that I beat my cancer. It’s scary to get such life changing news especially with a baby that depends on you. Whether you have to go through chemotherapy or not I just want you to know that you will get through it and having your baby to focus on is truly what pushed me to be positive through my diagnosis. If you ever want someone to talk to that has gone through something similar I would love to share my experience. Going through what I have has just made me so much more thankful for my baby and his health and stronger in the end. So much love and hugs to you and your family ❤️

The operation went well, now she won't even need chemotherapy and is now ready to go back to work like nothing ever happened (except she has to take some medication). Breast cancer is more common than we think, and you can totally heal from it (even if i did not believe it when people told me that a few months ago).
