Chien-Chi’s Story: Finding New Purpose "The scariest part of my cancer journey was not losing my hair or my breast. It was losing my mind.”
That’s how Chien-Chi Huang recalls the year she was treated for triple-negative breast cancer.
While contending with side effects, Chien-Chi felt isolated and longed to speak in her native Mandarin Chinese with other women affected by breast cancer. The Somerville, Mass., woman didn’t have that cultural support then but would later take action to help other Asian-American women connect with each other.
