This journey started with a lump I tried to ignore and a life that was already in transition. What followed was a whirlwind of appointments, tests, and words I never thought would apply to me: biopsy, chemo, radiation, mastectomy. Cancer doesn’t care if you have plans. It shows up, uninvited, and turns everything upside down. This part of my blog is where I lay it all out—what it felt like, what I learned, and how I kept going even when I didn’t feel strong.
You’ll find real talk here—no sugarcoating, no toxic positivity. Just one woman figuring it out day by day. There were moments I laughed, cried, cursed, and celebrated small wins. If you’re here because you or someone you love is on a similar path, I hope my words bring comfort, solidarity, or even a little hope. You’re not alone.
