Early Detection Saves Lives: Mercy Saye’s Breast Cancer Journey

Mercy Saye, a 38-year-old Rogers Park resident credits early detection and swift care at Northwestern Medicine for saving her life after a breast cancer diagnosis at age 37. Mercy’s story began in the shower, when she found a lump in her right breast in November 2023. She hadn’t done a self-check in a while and followed her instinct to examine herself. Her primary care doctor referred her to Northwestern Medicine Evanston Imaging Center, where Sonya Bhole, MD, a radiologist, quickly identified the need for a biopsy following a diagnostic mammogram. She is now cancer-free and passionate about raising awareness, especially among Black women, about the importance of early detection.
