The gesture came ahead of National Girlfriends Day on Aug. 1 and honors the friends who helped carry Beagle through chemotherapy, surgery and radiation after she was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer in 2021. “Cancer treatment is not only physically demanding. “They came up with the most creative things that really made me not focus on going to treatment,” Beagle said. After a biopsy, she was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer and began treatment at Advocate Condell Medical Center. When Beagle’s younger sister was later diagnosed with breast cancer, Kim organized support for her, too.
