When she first looked down after her double mastectomy, Tita didn’t panic. But adjusting to life without a bra has been strange. 

Nothing could prepare her for the emotions of losing a part of her body. But her tumor is gone, and no cancer was found before it was removed. 

Tita reflects that while chemo saves your life, it takes a piece of your life with it. She finds peace by focusing on her spiritual side to heal.

About Season 3

After her mom's death and some family issues, Dr. Tita Gray found a lump in her breast, leading to a biopsy that confirmed breast cancer. In season 3 of Breast Cancer Stories, Tita shares her journey through a triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis, aggressive chemo and immunotherapy, and choosing to go flat after a double mastectomy.
