Powerful Breast Cancer Photoshoot Showcases Beauty of a Young Woman Fighting BRCA1+

Meet Sydney Różycki. At 23 years old, she was diagnosed with Stage 3, Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.

She found a lump. It started out as swollen breast tissue. She recalls, “I thought very little of it to be honest.” Weeks went by and she said, “I was either crazy or it was growing. I acted quickly by calling my doctor and receiving the necessary testing. Who knew that this phone call and being proactive would save my life? Let me put emphasis that since the first day I called my doctor to when I was given my diagnosis, it had been only a month. It ONLY took a month for this sucker to grow up to 2 inches inside of me!” Since her diagnosis, she has found a warrior within herself that she didn’t even know existed.

Sydney is spreading self-breast check awareness to young women and men to #BeOnYourBreastBehavior 👊🏼 She adds, “God really did have a plan for me. Now it is up to me on how to harness all of this energy and apply it somewhere where it will make a difference for other young women like myself.” Check out the last photo and share this post to help spread her message. #SydStrong
