Aged 20, Sheehan Raab was living and working in New York City. Sheehan recalls how the leads available to her at the time in the cath-lab were best suited to men with the larger sizes not offering her adequate protection.

In 2018 Sheehan felt a lump in her upper breast and a mammogram revealed what was thought to be stage-1 breast cancer.

​

Soon after it was discovered that her breast cancer was actually stage-3 and affected both breasts. At this point a double mastectomy was the only option available to her.

​

Sheehan has thankfully made a full recovery and is now passionate advocate of radiation awareness and encourages those who fight for patients health every day to consider their own health too.
