The Reno Aces hosted a Saint Mary's "Home Run for Life" ceremony, featuring Jamie Jost, who battled breast cancer, on Friday, June 2 when the Aces took on the Las Vegas 51s at Greater Nevada Field.
Jost received her recommended screening mammogram at the age of 40, and that is when her doctor noticed some suspicious areas in her right breast. Just one month after her 40th birthday, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After 17 weeks of dose-dense chemotherapy and radiation treatment started earlier this week, Jost is proud to share she currently has no cancer in her body.
She received her care from breast radiologist Dr. Chivonne Harrigal of Saint Mary's and they urge women to get screened because Mammography Saves Lives.
Jost rounded the bases commemorating her "Home Run for Life" in the middle of the second inning Friday night. The Reno Aces and Las Vegas 51s players and staff lined up along each base line to greet Jost as she made her way toward home plate while the story of her battle was publicly announced to all in attendance.
