In March 2024 I had a routine mammogram , I was long overdue. I hadn't had one since 2020 . They found some lumps and I had to go back for an ultrasound guided biopsy which then turned into Invasive ductal  carcinoma and the plan was surgery. I started having back pain in March  which I contributed to my workouts.  April 28th the back pain was so severe I could not lay down, walk without pain or workout . I was admitted to the hospital and found out my cancer had mestastized to spine and they thought surgery was the best option for pain relief. My radiation oncologist felt that agressive radiation would work better and In may I did 5 sessions.  I won't say my cancer battle has been easy.  I am feeling much better and I am back to working and back to teaching my fitness classes. I had to learn the NEW Jill and most days it is a struggle but my support system is huge!!
