Nonprofits that offer financial assistance for metastatic breast cancer patients.
Having a community of people who knew exactly what I was saying about my symptoms and did not try to comfort me with toxic positivity was what meant the most to me.
I know you want to give me the advice you’d give anyone else – to slow down, be mindful, plan, save, and focus on healing. I don’t want to hear that. I want you to recognize that I am grieving and moving forward all at once because I have no choice.
This vlog describes my five year (failed) infertility journey prior to diagnosis of MBC at age 31.
Being newly diagnosed, it’s perfectly normal for you to have countless questions. Discuss all the available treatments with your oncologist, ask about all the pros and cons, and establish a goal.
The idea of end of life decision planning can seem uncomfortable. However, it really is the last gift you can leave your loved ones.
Cancer, better known as the Big C, is a negative word altogether, however, I always try to find the positive in every negative situation.
It’s ok to be truthful about how you feel.
These are MY terms of being at peace living with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC). Being diagnosed with Stage IV MBC at the age of 31 was not my form of peace, but I live and exist in purpose.
After lots of grounding and affirming, I had to fix my crown and remember who I am and whose I am!
