I was never really someone who believed in being proactive about my health, but after learning these results, I want every woman to know that it truly matters.
I actually came across HerScan while scrolling on Instagram and decided to give it a try after turning 40 this past January. Something about it stayed with me, and I felt like it was the right time to be proactive about my health.
I am incredibly grateful that I listened to that feeling and made the appointment. What is especially scary to think about is that I had absolutely no symptoms. I felt completely fine, and my lump was less than an inch. Because I have dense breasts, my primary care physician had never felt any lumps during exams.
If I had not gone for this scan, it could have been years before my cancer was discovered, and my journey could have looked very different. I may have needed chemotherapy or faced something even worse. My experience with HerScan was comforting, professional, and empowering from the moment I walked in. The process helped detect my breast cancer early, and because of that early detection, my doctors are optimistic about my treatment and outcome. Hearing the word “cancer” is terrifying, but knowing it was caught early has made all the difference in my care and my mindset moving forward.
I honestly believe this scan may have saved my life. If there is one thing I would want other women to know, it is this: listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and do not put off screenings out of fear. Early detection truly matters. Taking that one appointment could change and possibly save your life.
Thank you again to the entire HerScan team for what you do and for helping women like me catch something before it was too late. I will forever be grateful. - Nyomie P., May 2026
