My breast cancer journey began in 2021, when I discovered a lump in my left breast. Over the next two years, I underwent countless tests,  infusions and surgeries at Dana-Farber. In the summer of 2023, I celebrated the end of treatment and looked ahead with optimism. Just three months later, I received the devastating news that the cancer had spread to my brain.

Today, I am living with metastatic breast cancer. While this diagnosis has changed my life, it has not taken away my hope or my fight. Each day, I push forward not only for myself & my family?  but for everyone impacted by this disease. By sharing my story, I want to raise awareness, inspire others facing similar battles, and help drive progress toward better treatments and a cure.

This fight is bigger than me?and together, we can make a difference.
