Aged 20, Sheehan Raab was living and working in New York City. Sheehan recalls how the leads available to her at the time in the cath lab were best suited to men, with the larger sizes not offering her adequate protection.
In 2018 Sheehan felt a lump in her upper breast and a mammogram revealed what was thought to be stage 1 breast cancer.
Soon after, it was discovered that her breast cancer was actually stage 3 and affected both breasts. At this point a double mastectomy was the only option available to her.
Sheehan has thankfully made a full recovery and is now a passionate advocate of radiation awareness, encouraging those who fight for patients' health every day to consider their own health too.
