Perry, 29, was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer on March 1. Triple-negative breast cancer is known as one of the most aggressive types of breast cancer because there are fewer treatment options, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “If you’re diagnosed under 40, it’s most likely triple-negative breast cancer. Even now, knowing that it’s gone, but triple-negative (breast cancer) has the highest rate of recurrence,” Perry said. Perry said she hopes her story of survival brings awareness to her type of breast cancer and the need for more research.

SAN ANTONIO – At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Doctor Kate Lathrop with UT Health San Antonio and Mays Cancer Center said doctors were encouraging women to avoid routine check-ups.

The earlier we can detect breast cancer, the higher the chance of us curing women of that breast cancer,” she stressed. Lathrop encourages women 40 or older to get routine mammograms every year or at least every two years.

Be sure to get tested regardless of your gender:Oncologists say sometimes men ignore the warning signs of breast cancer for too long, and that can be deadly. Look for changes during self-exams:Doctors say even though not all lumps end up being cancer, they still need to be evaluated by a health care professional to rule out any problems.

So, in late May, Chapko went to the doctor, and sure enough, tests showed she had breast cancer. “There are many oncologists reporting a 30 to 40% decrease in breast cancer diagnoses and cancer diagnoses in general, largely driven by patients not coming in for their routine screening exams,” he said. “All the staff are screened each day they come to work and all the patients are screened before they enter. Don’t put it off.’ Just because you don’t feel anything doesn’t mean there’s nothing there,” she said.
