As an HR professional, Morgan Muraca sets up employee benefits and upon hearing about The Rose’s Mobile Mammography Program, she was determined to bring this life saving service to her company. Little did she know that step would also save her life.

Morgan has learned so much throughout her diagnosis and treatment including what it means to take care of herself while handling a full-time job and being a mother. She talks of genetic testing and functional medicine. One of the most important experiences she shares is what it means to have ‘cold cap’ therapy. She says this is one therapy every woman facing breast cancer treatment needs to understand and have.
