Breast Cancer Survivor & Advocate
Young Latina Breast Cancer Survivor
At just 31 years old, Victoria Megan was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer, a diagnosis that would reshape her life in profound ways. As a proud half Puerto Rican, half Dominican woman, Victoria draws strength from her cultural roots, bringing resilience, passion, and advocacy to the forefront of her journey.
Turning Adversity into Advocacy
From navigating chemotherapy, fertility preservation, and a double mastectomy, to balancing her professional life as a clinical research manager, Victoria’s story is one of unyielding determination and advocacy.
Advocate for Early Detection
Now 32, she’s not only a survivor but a fierce advocate for early detection and the power of community support. Through her experience, she has become a voice for young women facing breast cancer, especially within minority communities, where health disparities can be life-altering.
Legislative Ambassador
She actively works to inspire others as a Legislative Ambassador for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. She speaks out on the importance of self-examination, early prevention, and the critical role of a support network in overcoming adversity.
In December 2024 she attended an assembly appropriations meeting and testified on expanded access for biomarker testing.
