Mid-morning on October 13, 2011, Hollye Jacobs was getting dressed after her breast exam in Santa Barbara, Calif., when the radiologist sent a word that he wanted to see her. “When I walked into his office, I saw images of my breasts on four large computer monitors,” says Jacobs, who works as pediatric and adult palliative care nurse. “I saw what looked like a lot of snowballs.”
The snowballs were hiding tumors.
