One week before her wedding at her last wedding dress fitting, Christine found a lump in her breast. Her dress was altered and five days after her wedding, Christine came to Rutgers Cancer Institute where it was confirmed that she had breast cancer.

While the journey was far from easy, today Christine is a proud survivor of breast cancer sharing her story and helping to raise awareness.

"I am eternally grateful to every single person, staff, and nurse at Rutgers Cancer Institute. They helped me beat cancer! I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them and my family, friends and support system."

ICYMI: last week we welcomed Joy Bauer for a special inaugural cooking demonstration in the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center demonstration kitchen!

The Nutrition and Health Expert from NBC's Today show shared delicious and healthy recipes with patients and invited guests followed by a fireside chat with Dr. Steven Libutti and Dr. Andy Evens.

It was a fantastic way to open the state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen that will serve as a working classroom and vital resource for patients undergoing treatment and recovery.

🤔 Is it time to get your mammogram?

If you were born in 1985 or earlier, it's time! ⏰
Starting at age 40, women should begin getting an annual mammogram to help detect breast cancer early when prognosis is best. When caught in it's earliest stage, the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is 99%!

Take charge of your health and remember to schedule your mammogram: rwjbh.org/mammo
