32-year-old Jamie Ledezma of Fresno is a five year breast cancer survivor. That's a huge milestone considering she was diagnosed at age 27 when she was 14 weeks pregnant. Ledezma was treated for cancer during her pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby boy. Now she's telling her story to a national audience with an article in the October issue of Shape Magazine, and in a video and advertisments for the Underarmor apparel company's Power In Pink clothing line. Ledezma says it's an opportunity to share her message about the importance of early detection.
