“I was told I was too young.”
Those words are part of Rebekah Wong's breast cancer journey, and her story is an important reminder of why advocating for your health matters. 💗
When Rebekah first sought medical care, her concerns were initially overlooked because of her age. Following her first doctor's recommendation, she waited six months before seeking further evaluation.
By then, the tumor had continued to grow.
Rebekah underwent a lumpectomy and learned she had a rare form of breast cancer called malignant phyllodes tumor. A year later, another lump appeared, leading to a single mastectomy.
Through it all, Rebekah leaned on her faith and the people who surrounded her with prayer and support.
Today, she shares something truly worth celebrating:
“By the grace of God, I am 3.5 years cancer free today!”
When we asked how her Survivor Series portrait session made her feel, her answer was beautifully simple:
“Empowering. Beautiful.”
And her message to other women facing cancer is one we hope reaches someone who needs it:
“Advocate for yourself. Find a doctor that will actually listen to you, take someone to appointments with you to take notes so you can fully focus on the dr. And find support in family and friends, you don't have to walk through this alone.”
Rebekah also encourages others to lean on their faith, just as hers continues to carry her.
Thank you, Rebekah, for trusting us with your story. We're honored to celebrate you, your resilience, and this beautiful chapter of your life. 💗
