In May, Paige’s mother Kelly revealed toE! Newsthat she’d been diagnosed with invasive carcinoma grade 3 after finding a lump in her breast in late March.

“I booked myself a mammogram,” she shared. “I had just had one done eight months prior and the results came back clean. However, this new mammogram and sonogram did not, it came back showing a mass.”

“I went from clean results to a malignant mass in eight months,” Kelly told the outlet. “I was shocked that it had grown that quickly and scared of the battle I knew I was about to face.”

In August, Kelly celebrated her first milestone in her breast cancer journey. She posted anInstagram videoof herself ringing the bell at her hospital to signify the end of her chemotherapy treatment.

“I got to ring the bell today,” she wrote in the caption. “This was the end of my first treatment … next steps surgery, 20 radiation and 11 more treatments. I GOT THIS.”
