When Crystal, a certified medical assistant, was diagnosed with breast cancer, she leaned on her sister, Carol, for support. Weeks later, they were stunned to learn Carol had received a breast cancer diagnosis of her own.

From their first appointment with their care coordinator, who helped them establish a roadmap, through chemo, radiation and surgery, the sisters felt surrounded by kindness during their shared journey.

Carol says, "The whole team becomes your family while you’re there." This comprehensive support — from the "amazing angels" on the chemo staff to their oncology social worker who helped with necessary paperwork — allowed them to focus on healing.

With their third sister, a two-decade survivor, providing crucial guidance, the three scheduled genetic testing, offering peace of mind to their own daughters.

The final word from the sisters? Don't wait. Schedule your annual mammogram. https://uph.link/mammograms
