And as she continues her cancer battle, Katie hopes her story can help other women, noting that breast cancer in young women is on the rise.
“Doctors, sometimes because of our age, say, ‘Oh, you’re fine, you’re fine.’ What I’ve encouraging people to do is tell your doctor to put that in your notes,” she said on the March 19 episode of The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast. “Very quickly, the doctor will be like, ‘OK, fine, we’ll get you checked out.’ Because ultimately, you have to be your biggest advocate.”
She continued, “No longer is it the standard of like, ‘Oh, only older people get breast cancer,’ because I’m proof that that’s not true, and there’s thousands. There’s so many women where that’s proof that that’s not true. And so I hope to see change in the future in terms of the mammogram age dropping or ultrasounds being more accessible for everybody.”
