Emma, Stage 0

"Don't sweat the small stuff. Be true to yourself. It doesn't have to be a death sentence." Emma is a wife, mom, athlete, and survivor from Redondo Beach, California. She came to America from Australia to pursue a Kinesiology degree and this path eventually led her to become a PE teacher, as well as a school counselor. A long family history of breast cancer motivated Emma to seek early detection methods and at 25 years old Emma began getting her yearly mammograms. Because of her knowledge about the importance of early detection, her physical education background, and her fitness level, when she went in for her first biopsy, the words "You're not supposed to be here" were heard often. Tune in to the Behind the Bra Podcast and listen as Emma shares her unbelievable story about how she didn't know she had breast cancer until after the fact and how the choices she made to be preventatively saved her life.
