When Sawan heard the words “you have breast cancer”, fear tried to take over. But just as quickly, faith stepped in. At 43 years old, and with an established personal relationship with God, a routine mammogram changed everything. Like so many Mothers, her first thought wasn’t about herself. It was about her family. Her five babies. Her husband. Her sister. The people who needed her to fight.
Sawan’s journey includes what no one ever wants to face. Chemo. Radiation. Double mastectomy. It was a long road. It was a heavy road. It took a toll that you can see in her eyes and feel in her story. But even through the exhaustion, the fear, and the unknown, she showed up every single day with one thing in mind: SURVIVAL.
Sawan reminds us that surviving doesn’t always look pretty or polished. Sometimes it’s just getting up, showing up, and pushing through one more day. Like many of us, she’s still finding her way back. Still learning what life after cancer looks like, still trying to rebuild pieces that this disease tried to take.
She is a reminder of strength that’s quiet but unshakable. Of a woman who faced cancer treatment and came out still standing. Of faith that never stopped fighting.
Take a moment today to schedule your mammogram, check yourself, and remind a woman you love to do the same. Early detection saves lives.
