Welcome to my blog

My photo
Melissa Paskvan
I'm a 15 yr. Triple Negative Breast Cancer Survivor, diagnosed August 2009, age 41. In 2010, I created a blog website called, Triple Negative Breast Cancer, I Won’t Back Down! to bring awareness to my type of breast cancer. My site provides information and inspirational stories in reference to the disease of TNBC. It is a place where I document my journey, share photos and bond with the 15% of women diagnosed with my rare form of breast cancer. My audience has reached viewers from across the globe, and my mission is to bring hope and motivation to other women affected by TNBC.
