On July 22nd, 2025 Megan went in for a routine breast MRI, 24 hours later she received word that a biopsy was need, but first an ultrasound was recommended to obtain clearer imaging prior to biopsy. That ultrasound took place on August 12th, where a 3rd mass was discovered. The original area of concern now needs 2 biopsies. Lumps were noted at the 12 and 1 o’clock positions with a category 4 for concern.

The biopsies were performed on Tuesday, September 9th. Results were received that Friday, the 12th.

Megan’s life changed forever in that moment; she is now living with Breast Cancer.

After meeting with an oncologist at Moffitt Megan has learned she is Stage 2A, it’s a hormone negative, HER2+ (positive) cancer. HER2+ is an aggressive form of cancer that is most likely to spread to other parts of the body, that’s called metastatic, and obviously very bad. This type of cancer also has a higher rate of returning down the road, either as breast cancer or in other parts of the body.

After a long talk with her doctor and her mother she has decided to enroll in a clinical trail that hopes to block the HER2+ proteins with a vaccine made from parts of her own blood. The hopes of this trial is to prevent the HER2+ cells from returning, thus eliminating the cancer for good.

This treatment program is going to be very aggressive and while she wants to work and try to keep her life as normal as possible, she also knows that doing chemo every week is going to take a toll on her body and that might not be possible.
