Cancer survivor Natalie Gaskamp headlines Pink luncheon
- Surprising diagnosis with no family history of cancer -
There was no reason – absolutely no reason – for Natalie Gaskamp to get a mammogram.
She was a 3-mile-a-day runner with no family history of breast cancer and an active mother, including being a past board member of The Pines Montessori.
“No rhyme or reason for me to get a mammogram,” Gaskamp said, “but my doctor insisted, probably because his own wife was battling breast cancer. He kept telling me, ‘Better safe than sorry.’”
Gaskamp, a King’s Point resident in Kingwood, is the keynote speaker for the 12th annual In the Pink of Health luncheon on Oct. 18 at the Houston Airport Marriott.
