Then I felt a lump and it was already two centimeters. It felt like a rock. Very hard, very definitely obvious. It blows my mind that I didn\u2019t know it was there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chapman asked about the lump at her next appointment with her <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/location\/deaconess-health-education-center\/womens-center\/\">MultiCare Rockwood Clinic OB\/GYN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/provider\/lacey-marks\/\">Lacey Marks, MD, FACOG<\/a>, who immediately ordered a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy.<\/p>\n<p>Within a month, Chapman had harvested her eggs and began chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Marks said she feels incredibly fortunate to work within an integrated health system like Rockwood Clinic when cases like this arise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen my patients need care from other specialties, it is so easy to communicate with the appropriate people to get my patients to where they need to be seen,\u201d she says. \u201cThis ultimately benefits patients by giving them seamless, time-sensitive care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Situations like Chapman\u2019s come up more frequently than one would expect, Dr. Marks continues. That\u2019s why it is so important for providers and patients to have open and honest relationships, regardless of their specialty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatients generally know their bodies, and they will tell you what is wrong if you listen,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen patients feel cared for and safe, they are more likely to open up and mention details they may have otherwise thought were irrelevant. It\u2019s usually these very details that are key to figuring out what is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Already at stage 2, Chapman\u2019s cancer was aggressive and growing. With few treatment options available, her care team immediately ordered 16 rounds of Doxorubicin chemotherapy, commonly referred to as \u201cthe red devil,\u201d over six months.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22355 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/10\/Brittney-Chapman-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A woman with her husband and child.\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/10\/Brittney-Chapman-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/10\/Brittney-Chapman-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/10\/Brittney-Chapman-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/10\/Brittney-Chapman-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/10\/Brittney-Chapman-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/10\/Brittney-Chapman-2.jpg 2006w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After completing chemotherapy, she underwent a double mastectomy and followed that with another nine months of oral chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>Chapman still vividly remembers the hardest parts of treatment: the constant beeping of monitors; not being able to drink water because it tasted like a \u201cslimy penny\u201d; losing her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes; white blood cell treatments that she felt were harder than chemo; contracting shingles; and being incredibly tired, a side effect she still faces every day.<\/p>\n<p>There were times her white blood cell counts weren\u2019t high enough or her body just couldn\u2019t handle the chemotherapy, she says, which meant postponing that round of treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were many times where I just wanted to keep pushing to get rid of this cancer,\u201d she says. \u201cBut the doctor had to say no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Triple-negative breast cancer is a difficult cancer as it tends to be more aggressive in its growth, recur more often and have a higher likelihood of spreading, says <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/provider\/brett-gourley\/\">Brett Gourley, MD<\/a>, an oncologist at <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/location\/rockwood-cancer-north\/\">MultiCare Rockwood Clinic Cancer and Blood Specialty Center<\/a>. There are currently no tumor-directed therapy options, so the best option is chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>Because of how challenging cancer treatment is, Dr. Gourley says he and his team are mindful of patients\u2019 physical and mental health. Sometimes they decide to stop or reduce therapies to ensure a patient\u2019s overall health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, many of our anti-cancer treatments put a person through a great deal of stress,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gourley says it takes great courage, organization and fortitude to face a diagnosis of cancer and be able to manage all that comes with it, such as side effects and frequent appointments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very proud of the strength and courage all our patients show,\u201d he says. \u201cWe feel a great sense of duty and honor in walking with and advising patients during their cancer journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chapman says she\u2019s often asked how she has remained so positive, to which she answers:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you imagine if I wasn\u2019t? I would be so depressed. I could think, \u2018Oh, I could die,\u2019 but your mindset controls so much. I never once thought I couldn\u2019t beat it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On top of the roller coaster of treatment, Chapman says getting her diagnosis during the COVID-19 pandemic made her feel like she was in a glass bubble. She was completely isolated at home with her 3-year-old daughter, Carter, and her husband, Jason, who was working from home. Then her father, who was helping them remodel their home to sell, passed away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how we did it, you just do,\u201d she says. \u201cI still have things I\u2019m dealing with. I get anxiety, especially if I think about recurrence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that anxiety is common after treatment, she\u2019s now two years in remission and life is finally looking good again for Chapman.<\/p>\n<p>She recently reached a milestone at the gym \u2014 bench-pressing the bar. Her hair is back. Her daughter is in kindergarten. Her scars are lightening. She found a community of women battling triple-negative breast cancer on Instagram. And she is thankful for her team of MultiCare caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey actually cared,\u201d she says. \u201cYou\u2019re not just another patient for them to push through the office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She says she can\u2019t thank her care team enough: Dr. Gourley for sitting with her as long as she needed to ask questions; her nurses, who kept her company and comfortable during treatment; Dr. Marks for suggesting Chapman save her eggs in the hopes she can have more children; and her \u201cmiracle worker\u201d breast reconstruction surgeon, Dr. Emily Williams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust check your breasts. I tell my friends that it can happen to anybody,\u201d she says. \u201cListen to your body.
