Tina Macuha, a television anchor of Filipino descent in Sacramento, California, is using her personal story to advocate for lifesaving procedures. After a routine mammogram, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Fortunately, she caught it early as a stage zero breast cancer, where the cancer cells have not spread. Without treatment, it can become invasive breast cancer.
Her mother's side of the family has a history of breast cancer, and she chose the most aggressive treatment against the diagnosis--a bilateral mastectomy. All the while, she is using her own story as an example of the importance of being diligent in taking care of one's self.
