Linda, a 56-year-old elementary school principal, felt tired and had a lump in her breast that was being monitored. After further tests, she was diagnosed with Stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. She met with her doctor and a patient navigator to discuss her treatment options of lumpectomy or mastectomy, and learned about a new clinical trial for Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) that could avoid weeks of additional radiation treatment. After deciding on lumpectomy and chemotherapy, Linda had successful surgery and was able to receive IORT. She experienced side effects from chemotherapy but stayed strong through support from family, friends, and her faith. Two years later, Linda feels healthy again and shares her story to give hope to others
