My Name is Natascha Vega. On September 11th, 2020, at the age of 36 years old, with no family history and with a passion for healthy living, I was diagnosed with stage 2 triple positive breast cancer.
While I am now in the path to a healthy recovery, this diagnosis changed my life forever.
Since I was not vocal about my diagnosis during my treatment, I want to take this time to heal as I reminisce about the unexpected highs and the lessons gathered during my darkest lows.
Life goes on. We evolve. We find our purpose. If you are reading this, it could be that you are going through a similar journey. If so, I hope my experiences help reassure you that you are not alone.
My decision to start on antidepressants was difficult, but it changed ME for the better. I saw it as part of my cancer treatment, and not something to shun, disbelieve, or be afraid of.
