World Cancer Day: Breast cancer survivor shares importance of early detection

On World Cancer Day this Sunday, advocates worldwide raise awareness for prevention and ongoing research. Canadian Aimee Heroux, a breast cancer survivor, shares her story emphasizing the importance of early detection.

Heroux says she always knew she had a family history of breast cancer which led her to get regular breast MRIs. In 2021, when she was diagnosed she says she almost missed her appointment because of COVID-19.

Heroux was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer and had to undergo surgery as well as a round of radiation. She says nothing prepared her for how emotional the experience would be.

Global's Katherine Dornian speaks with Heroux about her story, and how she's urging others to minimize their risk.
