A CANCER JOURNEY
A message to other cancer patients: “You are not alone”
October 2025: Patient update! It’s now 7 years after Jennifer David was diagnosed with breast cancer and she continues to have no evidence of disease!
And now, inspired by her courage, Jennifer’s daughter is studying Global Health at @U of T, driven by a passion for women’s health and reproductive rights.
In 2019, Jennifer received an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis. It was overwhelming at the time, but she and her family were in it together. Her journey would include chemotherapy treatment, and surgery. While she knows nobody wants to join this club, Jennifer wants others facing a cancer diagnosis to know, they’re not alone.
