Stories of Remarkable Care

‘I want the cancer gone’

Ashlee Payne Jenkins was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at the age of 45. She’s always been a go-getter, and she approached cancer the same way: “Let’s get this done.”

‘Knowledge is power’

Breast cancer survivor Armanda O’Leary shares her story in hopes of inspiring others to provide mammograms to women in need.

‘I had no choice but to beat this.’

Dr. Patricia Flowers was religious about her mammograms. She had been since she turned 32. Then, in the summer of 2014, she found a lump in her breast. Her annual mammogram was just a few weeks away, but she decided to move it up.
