Dr. O’Neill Talks About Her Breast Cancer Journey
October 22, 2023
You probably already know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but did you know that approximately 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer over the course of their lifetime? Dr. Jennifer O’Neill was one of those women.
Dr. O’Neill is a breast surgeon practicing out of Arizona Oncology’s Goodyear office. She discovered her cancer during a breast self-examination despite the fact that self breast examinations weren’t encouraged at the time. “Self breast examination had received very negative attention,” she explains. “The argument at the time was that if a mass was felt, it would lead to unnecessary testing. I personally do not agree with this. While most masses prior to menopause are benign, the incidence of breast cancer in younger age groups is increasing.”
