I’ve always been a big believer that things always happen for a reason and God chooses us for those reasons. I know my testimony will be tremendous and will inspire others to fight with all they have.
I feel reborn in a sense. Life can change in a matter of minutes. I learned to live my best life!
I felt invigorated. I felt inspired. I felt SEEN. I had never been in a situation where I was surrounded by so many kick ass women. They had all been through what I was going through, and that was powerful for me.
I’ve learned during this process, everyday I gain and meet some amazing friends. And although we may leave each other for whatever reason, I wouldn’t change a thing!
“We do what we gotta do to live, Sis,” she would often tell me. She was right and together, we did what we had to do to survive.
I’m a thriver because each and everyday I am pushing through the odds to beat this thing and live a long prosperous life with me and my family.
If I learned one thing during this FIGHT with breast cancer, it would be to remind myself that life is too short.
Instead of allowing cancer to defeat me, I have learned everything I can be and can do in-spite of.
No, I am not the woman I was before, but the woman I am today shines the way God always intended for me to shine. And I am not sad at all that part of me had to die, so a greater me could emerge.
I’ve learned through all of this I’m a lot stronger and resilient than I ever thought I could be.
