October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor survivors and advocate for early detection. Sonia Massoud, a Marana resident, shared her journey with breast cancer , which began when she found a lump just a few months after a clear mammogram.Massoud, who was diagnosed at 42, said she was in disbelief since she had no genetic risk factors. Her first thought was her daughter.
When doctors told her she would lose her hair, she embraced the experience, even getting a mohawk and buying a variety of fun wigs. 'I would never be a platinum blonde, so let's do it,' she said, finding joy during a difficult time.Now, three years later, Massoud is cancer-free and has a new outlook on life. 'I have more appreciation for time and more patience,' she said.Massoud hopes her story will inspire others facing similar battles.
