Laura Pike's Instagram account shares images of post-breast cancer chests, including people who went flat, are undergoing reconstruction or lumpectomies and men with breast cancer.
Both Pike’s grandmothers had breast cancer as younger women and she visited a breast specialist requesting to be tested for BRCA. Mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes can increase a person's risk of developing cancer. They told her she was low-risk and didn’t need the test. A year later in 2019, she found a lump and testing revealed it was it was stage 2 invasive lobular carcinoma.
Earlier this year, Pike’s sister was also diagnosed with breast cancer and she called Pike to chat. She felt frustrated and unsure of what her body might look like after treatment.
