Emily Canes is a beautiful young woman and only 18 years of age. She attends high school and is currently in her senior year. Shortly after her 18th birthday she found a lump in her breast and as a few months went by it got worse real fast. 

In February, after an ultrasound, she was officially diagnosed with Stage 3 invasive Breast Cancer. She said she smiled when she heard the new. She was in disbelief thinking she is only 18. She says she is not worried about fighting cancer but losing her hair was hard. After her first chemo treatment, she shaved it off before chemo got to it first! 

Believe it or not, a few months later and after genetic testing, her biggest supporter got some bad news. Her mother was diagnosed with the same cancer. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than having a mother and daughter have the same breast cancer!  They are fighting together and staying strong with one another. These two women are inspiring!
