In May 2023, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in my left breast. It all began during my annual mammogram when a small abnormality was detected. This led to a breast biopsy, and the results showed signs of cancer. After additional testing, I received the news no one wants to hear--stage 3 breast cancer. I made the difficult decision to undergo a double mastectomy in July 2023. Following the surgery, I faced 16 rounds of IV chemotherapy and 25 radiation treatments. It was a devastating and overwhelming time for me and my family, but we stayed positive and kept pushing forward. Throughout this journey, the love and support of my family and friends kept me strong. Their encouragement gave me the courage to face each challenge and helped me find the strength to not only survive but thrive during my treatments. Now, as I continue to heal and reflect on my journey, I am more determined than ever to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Thank you for your support. Together, we can make a difference and help others facing the battle of their lives.
