At 31 years old, Garanfil received news that no one is prepared for—stage 2 breast cancer. To add to her shock, she also learned she was BRCA positive, meaning there was an even higher risk of her developing breast cancer a second time. With the support and expertise of her care team, including Paul Baron, MD, and Wojciech Dec, MD, Garanfil explored every treatment option—like whether to have just the cancerous tissue removed or undergo a double mastectomy—and chose the the path that felt right to her. We’re honored to share her story of empowerment and resilience this #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth.
