I never thought I would be the one writing this.
Cancer is heavy, disorienting, and comes with the good, the bad, and the ugly all at once. It’s still so fresh, but through every single day, I’m holding onto overwhelming gratitude for modern medicine, for the care I receive, and for every extra moment with my family and the people I love most.
If you know me, you know I’ve always been someone who suffers quietly and tries to carry everything on my own. But cancer stripped that away fast. As isolating as this journey can feel, I’ve learned I cannot walk it alone. I wouldn’t be standing here without my village, and I will spend the rest of my life being thankful for the people who show up.
Swipe through for a few screening alternatives and facts I’ve learned the hard way about advocating for your health early. Please show up for the people you love. Do the kind thing without being asked. Be there for the big and the quiet, small moments. You never know what someone is carrying behind closed doors.
Leave a 💖 in the comments if you or someone you love is walking through breast cancer right now. I’m holding space for every single one of you.
