Diagnosed with cancer at 30, Ashwini urges young women to be vigilant

At 30, the last thing Ashwini expected was a breast cancer diagnosis. She's determined now to spread awareness among young people about the importance of checking their breasts regularly.

When Ashwini Sivananthan felt a lump in her right breast, she knew almost instinctively that something wasn’t right. She promptly made an appointment to see her physician who then referred her to the Radiology Clinic for tests. Two days later, she got the results: she had Stage 2 breast cancer.

Ashwini’s world came crashing down in April this year.
