Some doctors are finding that many American women with #breastcancer are being massively overtreated. TIME’s new cover story profiles Desiree Basila who, diagnosed with breast cancer, decided to do nothing.

I also know life is finite and that death is unavoidable. For me it came down to the quality of the life I want to live. I don’t want to be tired and bitchy if I can avoid it. And come what may, I think we really hurt ourselves by trying to just not be dead." Read the full story in this week’s issue of TIME. Photograph by Peter Hapak for TIME.
