August 20, 2021 marked my official 5-year Cancerversary. This is not counting the year I unknowingly lived with Breast Cancer. Can I count that year? Anyways, the last 5 years have been interesting. There have been a lot of ups and downs, but thankfully most of my experiences have been a blessing and I am… Continue reading 5 years and counting…
Right now there is a huge conflict within the Cancer community regarding this vaccine. A lot of people don't feel comfortable getting the Covid-19 Vaccine because they are just not sure how of their bodies will react. Survivors are more likely to get it, but those in active treatment are concerned. There really hasn't been… Continue reading Covid and Breast Cancer: Why I got the Covid-19 Vaccine?
October is a tough month for me! Just like it is for every other woman that has been affected by Breast Cancer. But for me it's about trying to find a balance. You see, this is my Birthday month.

I used to love the color blue because of the ocean. I also loved Tigers and other spirit animals. I always liked turtles, but they… Continue reading Why Green??
Last year I attended the 2018 YSC Summit (Young Survival Coalition) in Orlando, FL. I got in my car and drove by myself. Not sure of how I would feel or who I would find at this conference for Young Breast Cancer Survivors. There were women I was following on social media that I was… Continue reading Finding Your Tribe!
I started writing this post on Tuesday, December 11, 2018. I finally remembered to post it... LOL Happy New Year!! ------------------------ I was so excited about this Christmas season. We bought our tree, decorated it and our house was feeling festive. Then all of that changed. We finally hired someone to fix the walls that… Continue reading Saying goodbye to 2018!
Sorry for the late post. I started this blog last month, but the last two months have been nonstop. Some great things have happened and some not so good things. But I rather focus on the good things.
