A routine mammogram changed Katrina Doughty’s life, while a former student’s persistence prompted Patricia Murray to get screened. Both women were diagnosed with breast cancer, demonstrating the importance of being proactive about one’s health.
Doughty was diagnosed in 2022 after believing she was depressed following her mother’s death the previous year and thought she was also going through menopause.
She underwent a pap smear and mammogram, with the latter revealing breast cancer. The 49-year-old recalled crying for a week after receiving the news.
