Krystle Hensley

Krystle’s journey started in July of 2016, when she was a 27 year old graduate student at Tulane, and had her whole life ahead of her when she felt a bump during a breast self-examination. When the results of her mammogram came in, Krystle was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma, more commonly known as stage 1 breast cancer.
