Campaign idea: Marie pushed for answers
Diagnosed with a rare breast tumour, Marie pushed for answers and learned she carried an inherited cancer gene fault.
This story
While being treated for cancer in her breast, Marie learned she carried an inherited gene fault that raises cancer risk. After chemotherapy and a double mastectomy, unexpected pathology results prompted her to read her own reports and secure a specialist referral for a rare form of cancer. Having completed active treatment, she is now focusing on her recovery while weighing up future preventative choices.
