Breast cancer patients need to be their own advocates when it comes to their health care. But how do you do this when you’re feeling scared and overwhelmed?
Everyone said it was the “best time” to be sick because he was too young to remember but I would watch him play until he got sad and would then ask me to play and I would have to remind him that Mama was sick.
The most important lesson I’ve learned in being a breast cancer survivor is that I can do things on my terms and define what survivorship looks like for me.
When you finish treatment, no one really speaks about survivorship. There is no road map or guide.
I am self-conscious of certain things, no matter how strong I may appear.
At the age of 43, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was an emotional mess but the one constant thing that helped me survive was running.
If you are someone who is struggling or has struggled through the pain of breast cancer, then now more than ever, you need to practice self-love and self-care in order to fully heal for yourselves and for those who love you.

Emotions are a part of life. They’re a driving force and are what connect us to ourselves and others. But it can be easy to get stuck in the negative emotions, and they can consume you if you let them.
For me, 2021 was about healing from the inside out to start living the magical life I deserve.
