💕 Two Best Friends. Two Breast Cancer Survivors. One Powerful Reminder. 💕
This isn’t something I would normally share on my Hasbargen Customs business page, but it’s something I feel so strongly about that I can’t help but use this platform to spread awareness. If sharing our story encourages even ONE person to get screened, then it’s worth it.
This photo means more to us than most people will ever realize. What started as a friendship filled with laughter, memories, and life’s ups and downs became a journey neither of us ever imagined we’d share.
When my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was the push I needed to schedule my own mammogram. I didn’t have symptoms or any reason to believe something was wrong. I simply went because of her. That mammogram ended up saving my life, too. Cancer was detected early, before I ever knew anything was wrong. Had I continued putting off that appointment, my story could have been very different.
Fast forward to this past weekend, and here we are, sitting together on the ice at the Minnesota Wild’s Hockey Fights Cancer game. Two best friends. Two survivors. Two women who know firsthand just how quickly life can change and how precious every moment truly is. 💜🤍
We don’t share this for sympathy or attention. We share it because we know the importance of early detection, and we know that sometimes all it takes is someone else’s story to encourage you to make that appointment. Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care how old you are, how healthy you feel, or what plans you have for tomorrow. It can affect women and men, young and old. Early detection matters. Screenings matter. And sometimes, that one appointment can change or save your life.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while we proudly wear our survivor shirts, we also wear them for those still fighting, those we’ve lost, and those who haven’t yet heard the words, “You have cancer.”
To my best friend, I’m forever grateful that we’re both still here to share these moments, laugh together, make memories, and celebrate LIFE. 💕
So here’s your reminder from two women who have been there: Don’t put off your screenings. Don’t wait for symptoms. Talk with your healthcare provider about when screening is right for you. Because we are living proof of what early detection can mean. 💗
Get screened. Know your body. Encourage someone you love. You never know whose life you might save.
