An Orange County woman is hoping to spread awareness amongst the Asian American Pacific Islander community, the only group where the leading cause of death is cancer, after going through her own heart-wrenching experience.
Joyce Yada and her family were experiencing some of the most memorable moments of their lives in early 2022, as her daughter Kristine had just been crowned Nisei Queen, one of the most prominent honors in the Japanese community.
Yada got screened for breast cancer at City of Hope in Irvine, knowing the struggles that her mother, aunt and cousin had all gone through before her. That test revealed invasive ductal carcinoma. "Cancers that we can't feel, that a patient won't even sense in their body, an image can catch sooner," Dr. Tseng said."For me to be their advocate and their partner to get through their journey, it's such a privilege.""I felt like they were taking care of not just me, but my family," she said."I feel so lucky that I have the opportunity to have such compassionate care, such top notch care, all in my back yard.
