What Happens When Your Mammogram Misses Breast Cancer? | Cynthia Jordan
In this episode of Patient Stories, breast cancer survivor Cynthia Jordan shares how she was diagnosed with Stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma in 2018 after more than a decade of “normal” mammograms. Despite no family history, her cancer went undetected due to dense breast tissue — a challenge that affects millions of women worldwide.
Cynthia opens up about her journey from shock to survival and how she turned her experience into purpose by founding Learn Look Locate, a global platform dedicated to breast cancer education, advocacy, and support.
In this conversation, Cynthia discusses:
- Why dense breasts can make cancer harder to detect
- The emotional impact of a missed diagnosis
- Her treatment decisions, including double mastectomy and radiation
- How education and self-advocacy can save lives
- The mission behind Learn Look Locate and its global impact
