About
Astrid and Lob the Ball!
In 2022, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. In addition to tubular, ductal and mammary cancer, I found out one full year later that I also have Lobular Cancer. Lobular cancer is seriously under-researched and hard to detect with current imaging technology. This deadly cancer has claimed the lives of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and I am determined to find a way to help this cancer claiming anymore lives, including my own!
Lob the Ball is a fundraiser I started that combines my passion for tennis and my mission to help fund research for lobular cancer and educate women (and men!) on how to detect and inform themselves on all things lobular.
