When I first heard the words "You have breast cancer," I thought it would be a quick detour-something I'd get through and move on from. What I didn't realize was how profoundly this journey would reshape me-physically, emotionally, and in the way I see life.
In these pages, I share my unfiltered experience with breast cancer: the fear and grief, the laughter that appeared in unexpected places, and the moments of grace that carried me through. This isn't a neatly polished story-it's real and raw. I hope that by opening my heart and sharing both the highs and lows, anyone walking through their diagnosis-or supporting a loved one-will find comfort in knowing you are not alone. Healing is never just physical. It's about resilience, love, community, and the strength you discover within yourself when you least expect it. If you've been touched by breast cancer in any way, may these words remind you: it's okay to feel everything, it's okay to stumble, and it's more than okay to lean on others. You are stronger than you realize.
