Amber is a 36 year old primary school teacher and mom of two (ages 8 and 5) from Brantford, Ontario. In 2020 she found a lump and went to her doctor three times before she was sent for testing. She was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, but after her first surgery she was re-diagnosed as stage 4 TNBC. Amber has since undergone chemotherapy, a mastectomy and lymph node removal, radiation in combination with oral chemo, and eight cycles of capecitabine (Xeloda). Amber talks openly about the importance of self advocacy, trusting your gut instinct, and increasing research and funding for stage 4. Find Amber on IG @mycancer.story.

Amy Smith was a 45 year-old Phys Ed teacher from Stoney Creek, Ontario, living life with her beautiful 15 year-old son when she found a lump in her left breast.  With no family history of breast cancer and no other symptoms, she didn’t think it was anything to worry about, but decided to visit her family doctor. Two months later, in March of 2021, she was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma. Amy then began a treatment plan that included 8 rounds of chemotherapy, a bilateral mastectomy, 25 treatments of radiation and 14 treatments of kadcyla. She is now a year and half into her cancer journey and working on rebuilding both her physical and mental health while she awaits reconstructive surgery. Find Amy on IG @smitty_strong.

Kirsten was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at the age of 40. With no family history, and no palpable lump; it was pain in her underarm that led to testing and an eventual diagnosis. After going through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, Kirsten believes in the power of sharing her story with others who need support. She raises awareness for breast cancer early detection, self-advocacy, lymphedema, life post-diagnosis, and treatment while also sharing her experience with scalp-cooling which she did during her chemotherapy treatments for hair preservation.
