Dismissed, Diagnosed, Determined: Jeanelle Adams' Triple Negative Breast Cancer Journey

from The Unexpected Detour ❤️ · host Frances Hammond

The interview with Jeanelle Adams was nothing short of phenomenal.At just 33 years old, Jeanelle—a wife, mother, daughter, and sister—noticed a rash on her breast. Doctors told her it was eczema. But she trusted her gut—and kept pushing for answers.That persistence led to a life-altering diagnosis:Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer—one of the most aggressive forms of the disease, and one that disproportionately affects women of color.Like many of us, Jeanelle turned to the internet for answers. But what she found beyond fear was fight—and purpose.She is not just surviving—she is leading. Jeanelle works with local representatives to support legislation that would expand access to care for women on Medicaid. Her advocacy isn’t for recognition or financial gain—it’s rooted in service.As I reflected on our conversation, one line stayed with me:“She can’t collect money from those who are poor. My purpose is to bring awareness.”Jeanelle Adams is a woman about her business—and her business is saving lives, changing minds, and ensuring no voice goes unheard.✨ This is more than an interview—it’s a movement.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elleviews/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jeanelleadams#JeanelleAdams#TripleNegativeBreastCancer#Stage3BreastCancer#BlackBreastCancerAwareness#BreastCancerAdvocate#TheUnexpectedDetour#ListenToBlackWomen#HealthEquityMatters#TNBCWarrior#PatientAdvocacy
