'Nobody in my family that I was aware of it, had it and then I don't have any of the markers for the genetics of breast cancer.' Carlie Korinek says she got a referral from her OBGYN for a mammogram.

TUCSON, Ariz. —"I didn't feel anything. I didn't feel bad. It was just a prescreening. So, that's what started it all." The news came as a surprise.

"Which, I didn't take seriously. I just kind of said, oh I'll just do that later and then when I went to schedule my next exam that was with the paperwork. I was like, I better get that done. she's going to get upset with me. If I don't do it. So, I got it scheduled," said Korinek. Her diagnosis came the summer of 2019."I had two types of cancer in my left breast. So, the diagnosis for the one type of cancer was going to be a mastectomy," said Korinek.

"Ultimately, we decided that I would do a double mastectomy and then we would do immediate preparations for reconstruction," said Korinek. And by the end of 2019, she could say she was cancer free.
