Three years after finishing treatment for stage 1 breast cancer, Lea learned she had metastatic breast cancer, for which there is no cure today. Even after having to fight for an initial screening, not receiving a recommendation to start tamoxifen and not experiencing transparency from her doctor, Lea Leach kept advocating for herself and making changes be treated as a whole person. Today, she is living her life with purpose and is passionate about advocating for breast cancer awareness, particularly for women of color.
