Kristin Root and her husband attempted to get pregnant for 3 years. She tried fertility treatments for a year, but last March, poised to start IVF with Dr. Charles E. Miller, a nationally renowned reproductive endocrinologist at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Ill, she found a lump in her breast during a routine visit. So Kristin scheduled a screening mammogram to make sure it was not anything serious.
The lump turned out to be nothing, but the mammogram demonstrated suspicious findings in her other breast. Two weeks before her 36 birthday, Kristin was diagnosed with breast cancer. Watch her inspiring story!
