Sona’s Story

By Olivia Achtmeyer Boger | February 25, 2026

When Sona was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2018, the news came at a time when life was full—two young sons, a demanding legal career, and a growing family business she was helping to scale from behind the scenes. But beneath the busyness, her body had been whispering that something was wrong.

Synthia’s Story

By Olivia Achtmeyer Boger | February 23, 2026

In October 2023, Synthia received a diagnosis that changed everything: Stage 3 Hormone Positive, HER2-Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma—at just 29 years old. She was feeling the best she had in years when one night, a lump, skin discoloration, and rippling on her left breast signaled that something was wrong.
