Summary

At 19, Terri Wingham learned that she had inherited a BRCA1 mutation from her father. At 23, she started an enhanced breast screening protocol, and at age 30 she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. While she expected cancer to be awful, she didn’t expect Surviving cancer to be so difficult. Her struggle with depression and to find meaning and connection in this new phase of her life led her to found A Fresh Chapter—a non-profit organization that facilitates volunteer and leadership experiences to empower people impacted by cancer to reframe adversity and discover possibility and purpose in their lives.
