In January, one of our Kic community members, Ellie, messaged us on
Instagram asking to share her story of being diagnosed with triple
negative breast cancer diagnosis at just 31 years old. Ellie
noticed a lump in one of her breasts last August. When it didn’t go
away, Ellie made an appointment to get it checked out by her GP.
Within days, Ellie underwent an ultrasound and biopsy to find out
it was breast cancer, which led to more biopsies, an egg retrieval
and chemotherapy. Ellie’s plans for a holiday in Europe, starting a
family, and her work as a midwife & nurse, were all put on
pause while she underwent six months of chemo. We spoke to Ellie a
few weeks before she was having a surgery to determine whether or
not she would need a double mastectomy. After our conversation with
Ellie, we speak with Kirsten Pilatti, the CEO of Breast Cancer
Network Australia, about the importance of doing regular breast
checks and seeking help if you notice something looks or feels
different. Find out more about Breast Cancer Network Australia
