Anna Rathkopf was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer. She was 37.
She was suddenly unable to express herself, temporarily cut off from the day-to-day. As she puts it, she felt she was 'no longer a driver in my own story.' So she turned to what she best understood. Already an accomplished photographer she began documenting that story with her camera, taking hundreds of images over seven years.
Her husband Jordan - also a highly skilled photographer, had no idea what she was doing initially. Anna's original idea was to capture memories for their little boy - just in case.
But now the couple, who live with their son in Brooklyn, New York, have just published their photographic story as a remarkable book titled, 'HER2, The Diagnosed, The Caregiver And Their Son'. And it's already attracting huge media acclaim around the world.
It's a visual story, unaffected by language barriers, to illustrate the real, unfiltered story of #cancerunder50.
