Gabrielle noticed a lump while she had a shower one day. When she went for the regular mammogram, she brought this to the medical team's attention, and on further tests, it was diagnosed as Breast Cancer. She underwent chemotherapy, lumpectomy, sixteen cycles of radiation treatment and Herceptin injection as a part of the treatment. Cancer made Gabrielle empathetic, and she says it is essential to share your stories with other people as it can help them in one way or another on their journey. "Take each day as it comes."
