A breast cancer diagnosis is devastating, whether discovered at an early or advanced stage. The patient’s life has been upended and will now be consumed with doctor visits, tests, and various treatments, for many months and more. What my breast cancer clients have made clear is that early detection saves lives or can moderate the level of treatment required. A missed diagnosis or a delayed diagnosis can lead to life-altering treatments and, also, a shortened life.
