Only one in a million people receive a rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosis in the breast. As the cancer was aggressive, Perri had intensive chemotherapy – /a 'complete shock' to her body. She said:"I think that having sepsis really encouraged me to just completely go with the mastectomy and say, 'Right, you know what, I've already been through this; it can't really get much worse. If the mastectomy was going to save my life, then I needed to go for it."
"A lot of people associate having cancer with losing weight, but for a lot of people, it's not the case. For me, I gained weight because of all the different medications I was on.

I'm very much looking forward to the reconstruction.
