There is space for those who want children, those who want children and can’t have them, and those who unequivocally know that parenthood isn’t for them. What about those of us who are right in the middle?
This vlog describes my five year (failed) infertility journey prior to diagnosis of MBC at age 31.
Every year parents struggle to hold back tears as they drop off their children for their first day of kindergarten. The truth is, it’s harder for us parents than it is for the kids, but what about the moms who have survived breast cancer
My goal in life is to leave a legacy for my children to be proud of
The first time I read Harry Potter, I felt like I was immersed in a world that was so surreal, yet so relatable. Amongst the fantasy there were simple humans, with complex emotions that they were trying to work through.
My hope in sharing my story is to offer encouragement and remind others that we can get through the hardest of days.
I sat in her office completely caught off guard by the fact that she had scheduled an oophorectomy without any discussion. In fact, when I started treatment, no one ever mentioned any fertility options to me.
After lots of grounding and affirming, I had to fix my crown and remember who I am and whose I am!
Breast cancer literally and figuratively cut me down and built me up. It forced me to see the “real” directly in front of my eyes, not the things my mind made up for me to see.
I share my story because I want others going through to feel seen. There is so much power in sharing your story; it not only helps you heal, but it empowers others to do the same.
