Joanne Garcia discovered a lump in her breast earlier this year and underwent several exams. āI actually went in to get a breast CT scan, so they could try and see where the cancer is,ā Garcia said. āShe goes, āI canāt see anything visible with your breast cancer on the CT scan because you have COVID lungs. āLuckily, because her lung reserve is tremendous because of her singing career, she had no shortness of breath,ā said Dr. Maryam Elmi, breast surgical oncologist at UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center.
