MURFREESBORO, Tennessee (WSMV) – Meghan Pegram, Steffanie Campbell and Brandi Hill, three mid-state women known as the "triple threat," are all under 40 years old.
They were diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and found themselves in treatment.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in American women. It affects about 7% of women under 40 years old.
Triple negative breast cancer tends to be more aggressive.
"It's really a unique bond we have – it's like a sister, it's really," said Pegram.
They want other women to know that it is important to have a strong support system.
"Life after cancer is difficult, but the fact that we all live and survive … you do not live in this darkness forever," said Campbell.
To detect cancer, women need to know that any new breast mass that does not go away should be a cause for concern.
Breast pain is rarely a symptom but can be if the cancer is advanced.
If you think something may be wrong or different, the best thing to do is to consult your doctor or surgeon immediately.
