Documenting Her Breast Cancer Journey

When Carolina Shaw was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was devastated. With no history of cancer in her family, the news of her diagnosis came as a shock. She squeezed her husband's hand in what was one of the most difficult moments of her life.

Carolina was referred to UCLA Health, and she decided to embrace her journey and document her battle against breast cancer with pictures and videos.

From diagnosis, testing and treatment, her video book captured the fear, uncertainty and joy she experienced each step along the way.

To find out more about Carolina's video diary and what happened next, click on the video above.
