Each year in the U.S., the CDC reports about 264,000 cases of breast cancer diagnosed in women.
“[After] a lot of pocking and probing, a lot of biopsies, CT scans, PET scans, MRIs, mammograms, all of those things, we were able to finally start chemotherapy,” said Scott.
She spent two years in remission. Then cancer came back, this time during a critical time in her life. “I was about eight months pregnant and I just went in for my routine ultrasound and screening and they found two new masses on the side that it was previously,” said Scott."So we had to start all over again.”
Scott underwent a mastectomy just weeks before giving birth to her baby girl Taisley and began chemotherapy one week after her baby was born.Her doctor, Ray Lin, a radiation oncologist with Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center and Scripps Clinic, credits her successful recovery to early detection. “That's the key point,” said Lin. “She was diagnosed very early, she came in very positive, and she underwent a very successful treatment.”“Breast cancer is becoming more and more common in all women,” said Lin. “But in younger women, it's proportionately higher than it used to be.”“If you're diagnosed with breast cancer, there's more than a 90% chance that you will be alive in five years,” said Lin.“Get screened for breast cancer,” said Lin.
