I was still too young for a mammogram, but the thought lingered. On the phone that day, my mom told me she had skipped her mammogram in 2023. The following year, while getting out of the bathtub, she felt a painful lump in her chest. She prayed it was nothing serious. Weeks later, the doctor confirmed it: stage one breast cancer....
