Rebecca Crews, 54, shared that she learned about the cancer after a routine checkup. Although, her cancer scare started about 12 years ago when doctors found a pre-cancerous lump in her right breast. She got the lump removed immediately and always dreaded the thought of it re-appearing.
Then last year, Rebecca’s mother also got a cancerous lump removed from her breast which inspired Rebecca to get a checkup immediately. And the doctors informed her that she has stage 1 breast cancer.
Rebecca acted fast and decided to get a double mastectomy.
