NEISD teacher shares story of courage, strength after battle with breast cancer at age 29
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. โIf youโre diagnosed under 40, itโs most likely triple-negative breast cancer. Even now, knowing that itโs gone, but triple-negative (breast cancer) has the highest rate of recurrence,โ Perry said. Perry said she hopes her story of survival brings awareness to her type of breast cancer and the need for more research.
