Breast Health

Kris’s jour­ney through breast can­cer began with a con­cern­ing dis­cov­ery while on vaca­tion, lead­ing to a diag­no­sis that would chal­lenge her phys­i­cal­ly and emo­tion­al­ly. Sup­port­ed by her fam­i­ly and the com­pas­sion­ate team at Quin­cy Med­ical Group, Kris under­went chemother­a­py, a dou­ble mas­tec­to­my, and recon­struc­tion. Her sto­ry is one of resilience, grat­i­tude, and heal­ing, as she now hears the words ​“can­cer-free” and feels like her­self again. 

When Katie Gar­rett was diag­nosed with breast can­cer at just 33 years old, she thought she was liv­ing the hap­pi­est time of her life. She had recent­ly bought her first home with her fiancé, Levi, and felt every­thing was falling into place. But in an instant, her world changed. She shares her sto­ry and expe­ri­ence with her care team at Quin­cy Med­ical Group.
