Masten is also the Kent County Levy Court First District commissioner and former Smyrna mayor.

It was a logical explanation after spending up to 75 hours a week managing her tanning salon in Dover and caring for two toddlers – all during a pandemic. Going to the doctor s office wasn t top of mind for the 28-year-old, whose focus was on keeping her business afloat and making sure there was always someone to watch her little ones after their day care shut down.
But, in September, Masten – who said she doesn t drink or smoke and rarely gets sick – decided to go for an annual checkup and flu shot. She had noticed some changes in her breast health, but like the lymph nodes, Masten often chalked it up to her busy lifestyle or hormone changes related to pregnancy or being around her 2- and 3-year-olds.
