My name is Rebekah Bowen, and in April 2020, I was diagnosed with stage 1 triple-positive breast cancer at the age of 29. I went through 6 rounds of chemotherapy, had a double mastectomy in October 2020, reconstruction surgery in March 2021, and had maintenance chemo infusions until May 2021. I will also be on hormone therapy for a total of 5 years. Thanks to my family and friends, I was able to get through the worst year of my life and can now say I am cancer-free. We put our faith and trust in Jesus and feel that this experience has made us stronger. Like 1 Peter 5:10 says, After your season of suffering, God in all His grace will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. With this newfound strength, I feel the call to help support other men and women going through their own cancer journeys. I believe that early detection and screening are so important for breast cancer. This is why I will be participating in The Miracle Mile Walk.
