When Martina Wood received a diagnosis of stage 2 breast cancer, she was scared for her life. She also wanted answers to her questions about the disease and how to best move forward with her treatment.

Follow Martina on her journey for answers, a journey that ultimately leads her to building a partnership with her pathologist.
