'The scar serves as a reminder to check my breasts regularly.'
star Rachel Zegler has opened up about a breast cancer scare she experienced two years ago when she was just 19.
The actress posted a photo to her Instagram story of a biopsy scar on the side of her breast covered in surgical tape. Alongside the photo, Zegler wrote a caption detailing her experiences with the scare. "Two years ago I found a lump in my breast and went through what was undoubtedly the scariest week of my life," Zegler wrote."No OB/GYN was taking new patients due to the backlog of the pandemic, but I was fortunate to have the care of my pediatrician who prescribed me an ultrasound, which led to an out-patient biopsy procedure. Thankfully it was benign."
Zegler continued:"And now the scar serves as a reminder to check my breasts regularly for any irregular growth – the fibroadenoma in my left breast is a common occurrence but nevertheless extremely scary to find."
