A Survivor Story: Cottage Grove breast cancer conqueror her own advocate
PHOTO PROVIDED Lori Sias gets loved on by one of her beloved Australian Shepherds, Ares. Sias is a breast cancer survivor who learned the hard way to advocate for herself. She now is the owner of LS Farmstead in Cottage Grove, which focuses on breeding and placing Australian Shepherd puppies in their forever homes as well as growing and providing organic meat, eggs, and produce to the community.
COTTAGE GROVE – When Lori Sias noticed a dimple in her breast in 2006, she was told this was very common among women, that there was no need to panic – but her gut told her that something was wrong.
She quickly bought health insurance in August 2006. Sias was diagnosed with third stage intraductal breast cancer the next month.
“It would have killed me,” Sias said. “It would have broken me.”
Sias went through chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and breast augmentation. She said doctors removed 26 lymph nodes, and six were positive for cancer. But this wasn’t the end of her journey.
