It was an honor to receive special recognition from the @PreventCancer Foundation’s Congressional Families Program yesterday.
Cancer touches every family, and I’m grateful to Lisa McGovern for bringing us together across party lines to help prevent it or catch it early.

Tracy Milgram, Founder & CEO of @BRCAStrong, never expected breast cancer to become part of her story. But by age 21, she had already undergone three lumpectomies to remove benign breast lumps—and shortly after, she learned she carried the BRCA2 genetic mutation. 🧵 1/3

ILC can be harder to spot on standard mammograms, and while symptoms can look similar to other breast cancers, ILC often doesn’t typically show up as a lump you can feel. 🧵 2/3
