Ignored by Protocol, Saved by Persistence
It Wasn’t “Nothing”
If you’re a young woman who was brushed off or dismissed by a provider before receiving your breast cancer diagnosis, you're not alone—and your story matters.
We’re working on a project to share real experiences from people who were delayed, disbelieved, or told they were “too young” to worry.
By speaking up, we can raise awareness, shift the narrative, and help others feel less alone.
You’re welcome to include your name and/or photos, but you can also remain anonymous if that feels right for you.
We’ll reach out to collaborate with you before anything is shared publicly—this is your story, and we’ll honor it that way.
Fill out the form below to submit your story.
We want this to be a fully collaborative process. Once you’ve submitted your story, we’ll connect with you directly before anything is shared on our website or social media.
