Jessica Foster Cancer
It is a difficult diagnosis to face, but there are many reasons to be thankful. For one, this cancer was caught very early. She had no lump. The cancer was detected during a yearly mammogram.
Most women do not have mammograms until they are at least 40. However, Jessica’s journey to detecting this cancer actually began five years ago when she did feel a suspicious lump during a self-exam. At that time, Jessica went through a mammogram and additional screenings. The finding was a benign cyst. Foster had no cancer, but that scare put me on a path of yearly mammograms.
Year after year, nothing alarming appeared on my mammograms, but this year was different. Dr. Lindsey Weintritt-Davis from Bay Radiology Women’s Imaging Center discovered a new Radiology Women’s Imaging Center discovered a new development when she had her mammogram in June.
While she navigates through this process, Jessica Foster appreciates your love and prayers. She truly believes in the power of prayer. I also hope you’ll follow along on social media and as we bring you updates on-air. My hope is that by sharing this story, Jessica can help other women. She can’t stress enough how important early detection is when dealing with cancer. Please get your yearly mammograms and do your self-exams. Because of early detection, my prognosis is excellent.
Cancer will not define me. It will not define the women who have been diagnosed before Jessica Foster. It will not define those who will be diagnosed in the future. We will fight, and we will win! said Foster.
