At 22, Lucy Liu made a decision she wishes she could take back.

After finding a lump, she went straight to surgery only to later learn it was noncancerous.

Now, she’s sharing her story to make sure others don’t go through the same experience.

“Don’t be afraid to ask questions… it’s not a stupid question.”

Through Pfizer’s Every Breakthrough Matters campaign, Liu is urging people to advocate for themselves, get screened, and always seek a second opinion because in some cases, misdiagnoses can happen.

Your health is too important to stay silent.
