What happened, in summary

Matilde found a lump in her left breast and sought medical care. Mammography and ultrasound showed signs of malignancy, and an oncologist later ordered a biopsy that confirmed breast cancer. The diagnosis frightened her, although she also tried to remain optimistic.

She based her treatment decision on her doctor’s recommendation. By the time of her story, she had completed her earlier treatment and was in remission, while hormone therapy was continuing. She made lasting changes focused on nutrition and exercise.

Matilde continued spending time with her family and began taking more family trips after cancer. Her main fear was that treatment would not work and that her condition would become critical. Faith helped her manage that uncertainty and focus on each day. Looking ahead, she wanted to live peacefully near her family, enjoy time together, and take care of herself. She encouraged other people facing cancer to rest, eat well, spend time outdoors, and treat each day as a gift.
