The diagnosis of breast cancer is the furthest thing from the minds of young women.
In 2019, Audra Chiles’ life was turned upside down when stage 2 breast cancer was diagnosed in her. Chile’s first idea that something was wrong was when she saw a marble growth. Before that, the busy young career woman was just looking to the future.
“I was hit with a very traumatic diagnosis,” said Chiles, who works in the web industry in Birmingham. ‘I felt it was the end of my life. I was dealing with death. I had all this mental and emotional trauma I had to go through. ”
After the ordeal, Chile wants to give back by helping others – and it does so by facilitating Zoom meetings for young breast cancer patients and survivors.
