Aguilera was diagnosed with breast cancer a little more than a year ago and underwent a double mastectomy. She is now cancer-free.
In addition to reconstructive surgery, Aguilera says she will need to take an estrogen blocker for the next 10 years or so.
"I'm really lucky. I didn't need any chemo or radiation so I'm very very lucky for that and I just really want to give back," she said.
The 36-year-old Coto de Caza resident recently started an organization called, "Feel Yourself Up."
"Our mission is early detection through self-examination," Aguilera said.
