Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Northwest Ohio 2018 Honorary Survivor

**Meet this year's 2018 honorary survivor!**


At the age of 41, Melissa Paskvan was diagnosed August 6, 2009 with Triple Negative Breast Cancer after finding a lump during a self exam.  She reacted fast and 2 days later got in for a mammogram followed by an ultrasound.  Having dense breasts, her 2cm lump did not show up on her mammogram. Melissa insisted on a needle biopsy right then and there.  2 days afterwards, she received the dreadful phone call from her doctor...
8½ years cancer free now, Melissa is very active in the breast cancer community advocating to further breast cancer research. Please join Melissa in the fight to end breast cancer with your support and participation at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on May 19th, 2018.
