Lauren’s Story

By Olivia Achtmeyer Boger | December 8, 2025

On April 7, 2022, at 10:51am, Lauren Yerkes received the call that would change her life. She was preparing for a work meeting when the radiologist told her she had invasive ductal carcinoma. “I remember only hearing the word ‘carcinoma’—I knew what that meant,” she recalls. Overcome with fear and confusion, she rushed to find her husband and handed him the phone. The two stood in their kitchen, hugging and crying, before beginning the painful process of sharing the news with loved ones.
