Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage means we face our fears. We are able to say “I have fallen, but I will get up.”
Maya Angelou
March 23, 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The weeks that followed were filled with lots of highs and lows attending appointment after appointment and anxiously awaiting results. The final tumor prognosis was invasive ductal carcinoma stage 1B, early stage but given my “young” age of 33 required a more aggressive course of treatment. Now here I find myself navigating the world of cancer while trying to maintain some normalcy of being a wife, twin mom, daughter, sister and friend.

Survivorship

In the waiting room
The gift of cancer
One round to go
Halfway there
Round one down
It was never really the shoe.
And the results are in.
The basic b*tch is gone!
“Is now a good time to talk…”
Processing the uncertainty
