Dorothy: [00:00:00] Becca Johnson lived for months with constant pain, yet every single test result came back normal. Despite the uncertainty, she trusted her instincts and pressed for answers. That perseverance led to a breast cancer diagnosis and to a journey defined by courage, faith and the power of support. In this episode, Becca reflects on what it took to move through treatment and why becoming your own advocate is one of the most important choices you can make.
If Becca’s journey resonates with you, please consider sharing this episode with someone in your life. And as always, we appreciate every donation that you might make to The Rose at therose.org.
Let’s Talk About Your Breast, a different kind of podcast presented to you by The Rose, a breast center of excellence, and a Texas treasure. You’re gonna hear frank [00:01:00] discussions about tough topics, and you’re gonna learn why knowing about your breast could save your life.
Becca, it’s so nice to have you here with us today, and I really appreciate you making this journey two and a half hours or whatever you’ve just spent on the road to come all the way from College Station to be with us in the studio today. Thank you for that.
Becca: Well, thank you for having me.
Dorothy: So I know you have a very different kind of story, uh, when it comes to breast cancer, but particularly about how you first learn that you have breast cancer, would you take us back and share that part with us?
Becca: So, uh, I actually found, what I believe is I, I found it, back in February of 2017, I was having, uh, some aches and pains in that area and actually went and had a mammogram with contrast, and they didn’t see anything. And so I continued intermittently to feel that [00:02:00] pain.
And it would go away and never had really a fear, just, um, I’m, I’m one of those of just check a box, get it done. Make sure everything’s good, move it forward. And so, uh, when it would, uh, the feeling would come up, I would check, not nothing, nothing. And that summer didn’t really feel, it, didn’t really ache. And then September, October, it really started aching a little bit more. And so that in October is when I found a lump and went to my doctor, and it was this older gentleman, he’s been in practice forever. Uh, I feel like he’s like a cowboy the way that he talks in his mannerisms. But he, he said, oh, I think it’s a cyst.
So we’re gonna just do a regimen of some vitamin E for about two weeks and, and if it’s a cyst, it should go away. Okay, well, I take supplements. I’ve always been health conscious in that way, so I’m like, [00:03:00] okay. So I did that didn’t go away. So I come back and he said, well, he said, I’m 99% sure it’s a cyst, but I don’t play the one percenter game, so let’s, let’s get some more, uh, you know, more done to look at it.
Dorothy: Right.
Becca: So I go and I have a mammogram and ultrasound, and the radiologist said. You’re 44, so it could be something, it could be nothing. Um, you’re not 24. If you were 24, I might just say you’re good. Which scares me now.
Dorothy: Yeah.
Becca: From things that I’ve read about the ages of women, uh, getting breast cancer, but at the time. He said, let’s, let’s get a biopsy. So this was the November 7th, 2017. I, again, no thoughts of cancer. I think God just protected my heart and mind from it. Um, my daughter was a senior that year and we were [00:04:00] going to the Macy’s parade. She was gonna march in it and dance in it. And so again, wanting to check it off a box, I wanted to get in, just get it done. Um. Get it off my list. Well, they were changing hands, the company to CHI, so everybody was in there. It was booked. Soon as I could get in was November 27th, the Monday after the Macy’s parade trip. So I kept trying, kept trying. Couldn’t get in, couldn’t, couldn’t in. Okay, no big deal. Go to New York, walked over a hundred thousand steps.
Had a great time. Come home Monday. I go in for a biopsy and it was very painful, very painful. Uh, he had tried to deaden it. He did a punch biopsy, went in and out. Same spot four times. And the first time about came off the table, he done it some more. Second and third were okay. Fourth about came off the [00:05:00] table again. He, uh, they were all very somber. It was a doctor, male doctor, female nurse, um, very polite, but it was just a, I don’t know it, that when they walked outta that room and I was waiting for a mammogram to make sure the clip took that they inserted. At one point I tears flowed. Oh. And it was at that time that I thought. What if. And the nurse comes in, sees me crying. Are you okay? Yes, ma’am. I’m, I’m, I’m good. So go and do the mammogram clip took. The radiologist said you’ll hear from me in two or three days. If you’re driving, make sure you, you, and you see Brian Radiology. Make sure you pull over before you answer. Okay. Again, little somber, little, you know, uh, little un unsettling.
Dorothy: That’s an interesting, yeah.
Becca: And maybe, maybe he, [00:06:00] maybe he knew. I, I don’t know. Uh, but the very next day, I was backing out of a parking spot, taking my daughter to the dentist. She was in a different car. Saw Brian Radiology pop up, pulled right back into the parking spot, answered the call. Same doctor and he said, you have cancer.
Dorothy: Ugh.
Becca: And so he starts talking, of course, you know, and doctor speak rambling, all these things. And I said, hold on, please, hold on. I need to get a piece of paper and write this down. Because that’s how I roll. So.
Dorothy: Smart person. Very smart. Yes.
Becca: So I grab a piece of paper and I start writing everything he says down. And it’s 4:50 ish, um, in, on a Tuesday, and I get off the phone and I lose my mind. I just sobbed, sobbed, sob. All I could say was, Jesus, just over and over and over again. [00:07:00] And, um, minute or two passed. I don’t even know how long it passed, but, uh, not long because then I realized, okay, it’s almost five o’clock. That’s when doctors go home. I’m calling my doctor because I am not gonna let the sun set on this without having a plan and so I, I call the doctor, he doesn’t answer, but I get ahold of the nurse while I’m driving. ’cause I also thought, okay, I can’t be stopping and driving because I don’t wanna wreck, so I need to get home safely.
So I am, uh, speaking to the nurse and she, she really starts talking. And so I pull into a parking spot close to home and she says, we’re chatting and I said two things. I don’t know what to do next. And I don’t know how to tell my kids. Oh, because we hadn’t said anything. Right. Again, God, I just feel like God’s protection and you know, to back up for the three months prior, I’d had a [00:08:00] friend walk alongside me because I wanted to get healthy.
You know, just work on my health. Get more discs of self-discipline. Um, I was going in my second year being a paraprofessional in a special needs classroom, and so just felt like I needed to be more self-disciplined in my eating habits. And so she walks alongside me and says, I’ve been on keto, so let’s do that.
And so I did it. I jumped in. This was August. I jumped in fully, had no sugar cravings. None. I was diving more into devotionals and had come across three different articles about people walking through various types of cancer, and by the third one, I do remember thinking, why am I, why am I reading this? But again. Just kind of what’s,
Dorothy: what’s come to me? Yes. Why is this here?
Becca: And so I, I feel like in retrospect, when I can look [00:09:00] back, I see that God’s hand was all in this. He had shut down a couple of things that I was supposed to do at the end of October and the end of November. And at the time I was sad. Well, I’ve always done this. I’ve always been a part of this or that. Why is the door shutting? But now I can see, he knew I needed. All of my everything, all of my focus to be on this and.
Dorothy: Your energy and.
Becca: Yes ma’am.
Dorothy: Time and Yeah.
Becca: Absolutely. So speaking to the nurse and she said, I can help you with the first part. Uh, doc, the doctor is going to get with you. He will tell you, uh, um, what to do next. So we’ve got you, we’re gonna help you. The second question, can I share my story? I said, sure. She said, well, my mom went through something similar, but different. She didn’t tell anybody. She kept it to herself. She didn’t share with her friends.
She didn’t [00:10:00] share with us as her children, and I truly believe she suffered in silence. And immediately the Lord put on my heart a Bible verse that I’ve had at the end of my emails for probably close to two decades. Uh, it’s Galatians 6:2, share in each other’s problems and troubles, and in this way obey the laws of Christ. Immediately that verse came to mind, and I thought it was cutesy, kind of ’cause a play on words of sharing information. Sharing, you know, emails or sharing information.
Dorothy: Right, right.
Becca: And, uh, so to have him bring that to mind, so immediately gave me such a peace and such a platform, I think at that point, to be confident to share my story.
Dorothy: But Becca, you just found out.
Becca: I know. I know that is, but God.
Dorothy: Oh, oh my gosh.
Becca: He [00:11:00] truly, I truly believe that. I mean, he knows, he knows to the end of the days our life and how it’s going to play out, and so he was working in the background this whole time, just preparing my heart and mind to be able to fight a battle and so I thought, okay, I will share my story. So I make it home. My husband’s about to pull outta the driveway to come hunt for me because he, I, he’s been calling me and I was not answering my phone. And he said, I just knew. I just knew. And so, um, pulling the driveway, the doctors called, he reaffirms, I’ve got you. We’ll, we’ll get, we’ll get going tomorrow. Yes, sir. So. My husband said, we’re supposed to go to dinner with friends and my sister, and he said, we can just stay home. We’ll just cancel. Um, what do you wanna do? And I said, we need to go tell the kids right now. [00:12:00] And so he said, okay. And so we gathered everybody.
Dorothy: And how old are kids?
Becca: I have four children.
Dorothy: Okay.
Becca: At the time they were 17, 15, 13, and 10. So I, uh, we sat down with them, called them into the living room, and Jay spoke, my husband, and he told them that I had cancer. Asked them if they had any questions, and I don’t remember what questions they had, but he answered their questions. We answered their questions very transparent. And then we prayed. And he had asked me before, do you wanna cancel dinner? And I said, no. No, let’s just go to dinner. And so we prayed. We gathered everybody up in the car. We went to Nifas for dinner, and I sat next to a nurse friend. And I thought, thank you Lord. And so I [00:13:00] said, okay, here’s what’s going on. Who do I contact? What doctors would you call if this were you? So she told me the oncologist’s name and she told me a surgeon’s name.
And I said, okay. And went on to have dinner and made it through dinner and got up the next morning and showed up to my, my job as a paraprofessional, walked in, both the teacher and the other assistant, immediately knew. We all hugged, cried, and I said, I have some phone calls I need to make. Are you okay if I step out? Yes. Take the time you need, do what you need to do. So I call, um, I call the surgeon first and get an appointment. So this was Wednesday at this point? Call the surgeon. I have an appointment now for Friday morning.
Okay. Next phone call. The oncologist and the nurse navigator says. [00:14:00] Oh, it’s, it’s probably gonna be a couple of months before we can get you in, which is crazy to me in retrospect. Right. Uh, but that’s a different story. So I, I said, okay, uh, what do you need? Well, we need this. Where did you get this done on radiology. Okay. Where did you get this done? Brian Radiology. What about this? Same place. Y you’ve done everything at Brian Radio, Brian Radiology? Yes, ma’am. Okay. Hold that thought. Lemme call you back in a few minutes. She calls me back in a few minutes and says the Lord is watching over you. That’s how she started the call. The Lord is watching over you. I have everything I need. Can you come tomorrow?
Dorothy: Oh my goodness. Wow.
Becca: So I had an appointment with the oncologist the next day, Thursday, and when I went in, she did not even have all of my pathology back. She knew that I was ER negative. And [00:15:00] PR negative. She didn’t know about HER2. And so she just talked about if her two was positive, what that would look like, answered any questions. Very precious woman. She is, I consider her a friend, Dr. Erin Fleener. Um, she is a godly, godly woman, precious woman who is such a huge advocate for, for all people with cancer, but, uh, anyway, so she, she was precious and she said, well, you have a, an appointment with Dr. Parent tomorrow, correct? Yes. Okay. So he’ll, you know, be able to let you know more as far as scheduling a surgery.
Dorothy: Yeah.
Becca: Okay. Go the next morning I go with my husband and my sister and he has to be the bearer of, I guess, bad news. Uh, he said HER2 came back and her HER2-. And so I’m thinking, oh, okay. That’s, that’s a good thing. That’s good. Yeah. That’s a good thing. Yeah. And he said actually not. Uh, it that means it’s triple [00:16:00] negative. And.
Dorothy: Not often found in women who are white. And in this population. It is becoming more and more, yes.
Becca: And BRCA negative. I did not have any of the genes, gene mutations, no prior familial cancers.
Dorothy: Wow.
Becca: Nothing. Yeah, so, and I’d never even heard of triple negative and my sister said immediately she looked at me and I just shut down. I remember it, but I, I didn’t ever really come back emotionally, and so I sat there and, and just robotically listen to him and that it. Has a poor prognosis. It is more aggressive. Uh, there’s, you know, for women it’s typically a five year, you know, if you get to five years. This was three. And, uh, so then [00:17:00] he says, are we were recommending a lumpectomy? Um. Would, let’s go and talk to our scheduler and try to see what we can get done. I want it out of there. I want it out there so bad.
And I thought I, uh, Lord, get me out. Shut the doors. Just, just make it go away. I, I just wanted to escape at this point. And then the scheduler comes out. ’cause it’s a three part process. You have the needle. Biopsy again, or where they, uh, insert the metal To the clip that’s already in there.
Dorothy: So they can find it and. Yes.
Becca: Yes, ma’am. Yes. Yes. And then the sentinel node biopsy. And then the surgery. So three things have to be scheduled, right? So she comes in, she says, we could only get two. For Wednesday the sixth, which was the very next week of December. And so I am sitting there just thinking, okay, Lord, you shut this down. All right, let’s go. Let’s go. I’m outta here. She said, hold on, I’m gonna try to [00:18:00] see for the next day. Ugh. I don’t, I don’t wanna be here. And so I’m just sitting there, just praying, praying, praying, praying. She comes back in and she says, I got all three. Oh my, your surgery is Wednesday, December 7th, or Thursday, December 7th.
Okay. Okay, so less than a week away. Well, in the course of all this, I had been speaking to somebody, uh, a fellow survivor who had a familial tie to MD Anderson. So I’m thinking, okay, I am gonna go there. That’s what I need to do is get in there. Well, the Tuesday before that, the lady finally calls me back and she said, you’re getting it out when?
And I said Thursday. ’cause I still was on the fence. Of, you know, um, and she said, oh, you gotta get it out. You, you just got, oh God, God has worked this out for you. You [00:19:00] just get it out. It don’t matter. That’s what she said. It don’t matter. You just get it out. Oh, I, we couldn’t have done that that fast. The Lord is watching you just get it out and when you’ve recovered then we can chat.
Dorothy: Really?
Becca: And I said, okay, okay.
Dorothy: Oh my.
Becca: And over that weekend, prior every, it seemed like everyone came outta the woodwork to praise the surgeon. I had never even heard of this man before. I talked about what a strong believer he was. What an amazing surgeon he was. What a good friend he was. Just moral, ethical, you know, spiritual strengths/
Dorothy: all the things that you’re gonna want that.
Becca: Yes, yes. And so hearing that was shifting my heart to more of a peace. And then to hear this woman just affirm that it’s just one more, one more God wink to say, I want you to do this.
Dorothy: Right. [00:20:00]
Becca: So. In the midst of all of this, um, I had gone to alternative doctors. Um, my mother’s a nutritionist. I grew up, my husband has said, you’re one of the healthiest people I know that got cancer. How, how is that even possible? I don’t know.
Dorothy: Yeah.
Becca: Um, and so I had, uh, been doing alternative meetings and such and found out through that that I have two MT, M-T-H-F-R mutations. Which is a methylation mutation. Never even heard of that. But it explained so many things about myself. Um, you don’t detox well, and I’ve never been a good detoxifier ever. And then when they said, oh, you don’t have BRCA, so it must be environmental, those pieces kind of to me, to me. My journey kind of started clicking into place. Well, if you can’t detoxify. [00:21:00] What’s left in you, right? Toxins.
Dorothy: Toxins. Yeah.
Becca: Everything we put on us, in us, right. Breathe. Uh, or around stress. I mean so many things. And if we can’t learn to take deep breaths to sweat, to do all the things that we need to do, right. To get those toxins out, things happen. So made sense. Oh yeah. A lot more sense.
Dorothy: Yeah.
Becca: So this friend was helping me. She said, I wanna help you financially if I can. She makes t-shirts that I should have worn it. She makes t-shirts that, uh, she uses for fundraisers. And she said, whatever you wanna put on it, as a motivation, as a reminder, whatever you wanna do, we’ll put on that shirt and then we’ll sell them.
Okay, great. Thank you so much. That’s so sweet of you. So a friend of mine had sent me, uh, Exodus [00:22:00] 14:14, which says, the Lord is fighting for you. You need only to be still, which was beautiful.
Dorothy: Oh, it’s so beautiful.
Becca: Beautiful. I’d never heard that verse before. But it didn’t feel finished. Oh. And so the night before my surgery, I felt led to read the whole chapter of Exodus 14. So Moses is being chased by Pharaoh and the Egyptians. He’s got all the Israelites, he’s trying to get away.
Becca: And they’re coming upon the Red Sea. And they’ve been protected this whole time, but now they’ve gotta get across, you know? And so they’re just saying, we’ll just go back. It’s fine. You know, we’ll, we’ll go back to be enslaved. It, it was not that. It was not that bad, you know? And he says in Exodus thir 14:13, do not be afraid. Stand firm. And you’ll see the deliverance. The Lord will bring you today. Yeah. The Lord is fighting for you. You need only to be still.
Dorothy: Oh, [00:23:00] my beautiful.
Becca: I mean, I just, yes, yes, yes. It has all the things.
Dorothy: Yes.
Becca: Reminders, commands, promises. Just gentle wrap his arms around you and say, I got you. I got you. I’m always gonna have you because today is today. Today, tomorrow. We’ll be today. Next week, next month, next year. We’ll be today. So it’s alive and active and constantly reminding and commanding. Do not be afraid. Stand firm. Be still.
Dorothy: The most often quoted phrase in the Bible. Do not be phrase.
Dorothy: It, it’s, it’s amazing how often we read that.
Becca: Yes. Some people say there’s 365 of them for.
Dorothy: Yeah.
Becca: Somewhere in the bible. Every, yes. For every day of the year. I don’t know that, but it is,
Dorothy: it, it is. It’s [00:24:00] such a, you know, you often wonder why was that the most, the message that was most sent to us? Because we are afraid.
Becca: Yes.
Dorothy: Yes. We live lives that. Oh, so much can upset us. Get us off track. Our minds can go off into a hundred different ways and like that.
Becca: Oh yeah, yeah. We can conjure things. That never happened.
Dorothy: Suddenly. Yeah. What was it? You know, all the things I worried about, only 10% of them ever came true. You know? I mean it. That is truly a comforting verse. Yes, yes, yes. So you put all of that on the.
Becca: Yes ma’am.
Dorothy: On the t-shirt. Ah.
Becca: Yeah. Those two verses.
Dorothy: Neat.
Becca: Were on that shirt and the, some of the alternative testing that I did was a little expensive. It was, $3,500 roughly for this one test.
Dorothy: Wow.
Becca: And even the nurse had said that particular day she was gonna draw the blood. This is the most expensive I’ve ever seen it. [00:25:00] And a friend of mine was with me and said, we’ll just leave. We can come back. Let’s call your husband. Let’s, you know, we can, we can table this.
And I thought, no, no, God, God’s gonna provide. I truly felt that in, in the deepest part of me, God is gonna provide. So again, this was December. So Christmas time. The shirt goes out and by the time I receive the check from, from the profits from that, it was within $7 of paying for the whole test.
Dorothy: Oh, you’re kidding.
Becca: No. No, I can’t.
Dorothy: Wow.
Becca: I can’t make this stuff up. I mean, no.
Dorothy: You can’t. Oh my.
Becca: Just the way that God provided it, it was beautiful. And I actually met a lady years later, um, several years ago and, and have since gotten to know her and her children and she said, [00:26:00] I have your shirt. I didn’t even know who you were, but someone encouraged me to buy that shirt and it blesses me when I wear it.
Dorothy: Oh.
Becca: So.
Dorothy: That’s a beautiful story. I.
Becca: God is God. This is God’s story.
Dorothy: Yes.
Becca: I say that if you have to take God out of my story, I don’t have a story. I’m just a girl who got breast cancer. Oh, that’s, it is truly, there are so many things, like we could talk for hours. And I could tell you all the ways that, that God provided. Um, but did they.
Dorothy: Did you always have such a, a faith before you went through this?
Becca: I was saved when I was 13. But didn’t, didn’t live it out. Um, if you would’ve seen me in my twenties, you would not have seen fruit at all. And, uh, it really wasn’t until I had a, a come to Jesus time [00:27:00] around 25 that I thought, what am I doing? What am I doing? I’m not in church, I’m not surrounding myself with people who are encouraging me, drawing me closer to Christ. Edifying me. It was just very worldly. Uh, and so was single looking for love in all the wrong places kind of thing. And I thought, Lord, I don’t wanna do this. I, I literally hit my knees and just said, I am so sorry for how I am living my life. I don’t wanna do this anymore. So help me, bring me people, change changes me. ’cause this path I’m on is not good.
Dorothy: Right.
Becca: And I met my husband the next year in uh, 1999. And when our first date, he talked about his [00:28:00] faith. He talked about finding a new church ’cause he had just moved and. After I left that date, I thought, okay, okay, here we go.
Dorothy: Here we go. That’s your answer.
Becca: And we were married 11 months later. And have, we just celebrated this year, our 25th wedding anniversary.
Dorothy: Oh, congratulations.
Becca: And four children and a really, you know, I say we are two imperfect people, broken people, put on a perfectly imperfect road together. And. You know, no, no marriage is easy. It’s, it is truly a labor of love.
Dorothy: Yeah.
Becca: But that grew my faith and then having children and wanting different for them.
Dorothy: Right.
Becca: And it to be a rooting. In our home, you know, just deep foundations and that maybe by the time their children [00:29:00] come along, their roots will be even deeper, just changing the trajectory.
Dorothy: Right.
Becca: You know? And, um.
Dorothy: So becca, you’re how far out now? What is it?
Becca: Seven and a half years.
Dorothy: Which is another small miracle.
Becca: Yes. Considering, and then six. So I had a recurrence 18 months later.
Dorothy: Oh.
Becca: So I just celebrated six for that one. Exact same, triple, negative,
Dorothy: same area? So what, what is the one thing you would say to anyone who’s just received this diagnosis and they may not have?
Becca: Right. Yeah. Uh, that’s tough to, to not have that face. One thing. Yes.
Dorothy: Yeah. But what is one thing that you’re glad someone said to you? Let’s go that way.
Becca: To be an advocate, your own advocate. To question.
Dorothy: Which you [00:30:00] did.
Becca: Yes, ma’am. To research. To find your people, whoever that may be.
Dorothy: Right.
Becca: Recognize that you are not walking this alone. I think that is what Satan tries to make us feel is that we’re on our own island.
Dorothy: No
Becca: one can understand. No one knows. That’s a lie. That’s a lie. They may not have walked your journey, but we all walk hard journeys. We all have different things that we’re going through and struggles. We’ve all been afraid to think about that. We’ve all heard things or seeing things that Rocked us brought us to our knees. It may not be cancer, but it’s still, those same emotions are still there.
Dorothy: Oh, absolutely.
Becca: Um, cancer brings it to a, a much more exponential level. Um, but to find your people, and [00:31:00] if you are a believer, rebuke that lie.
Dorothy: Right.
Becca: That, that you are alone because you are not, and, um, that you have hope. There is hope. There’s eternal hope as a believer in Christ. For sure. Uh, but for someone who does not have that same faith. Maybe now is a time to.
Dorothy: But like you said today.
Becca: Yeah. Yes.
Dorothy: Today. It’s there. It today.
Becca: It’s, and God will meet you wherever you are.
Dorothy: Absolutely.
Becca: No matter
Dorothy: he never left.
Becca: Amen. You are the one. Yeah. Amen. For sure. For sure. But you know, we all, it’s a very personal journey. Journey.
Dorothy: Absolutely.
Becca: Uh, treatments. Your body, our bodies are so unique.
Dorothy: Absolutely.
Becca: We are truly uniquely made. And not one of us has the same DNA, the same blood type, the the same mutations, you know, [00:32:00] all of the things that make us physiologically who we are. And so some treatments may work, some may not. And I mean, I’ve heard stories where they did chemo and chemo and chemo. Right. And then it didn’t work and the tumor grew bigger.
Dorothy: Yeah.
Becca: Um, for me, Dr. Fleener said, it’s less than two centimeters. I recommend you get it out. Okay.
Dorothy: You’re doing it.
Becca: Let’s get it out.
Dorothy: But most of all, be your own advocate.
Becca: Yes.
Dorothy: And most of all, hang on to that hope and that faith.
Becca: Amen. Yes, for sure.
Dorothy: Thank you so much for sharing this amazing story and for being so open and, and vulnerable. With us because I think, uh, the more we hear the good stories the better all of us are gonna be.
Becca: Absolutely. In life. Just to get through today.
Dorothy: Today, right.
Becca: Yes. But especially when you hear those words.
Dorothy: Absolutely.
Becca: You have cancer. Yeah. [00:33:00] For sure.
Dorothy: Oh, great stories.
Becca: Thank you.
Dorothy: Thank you so much.
Becca: Thank you. I appreciate it.
