Breast health education BEFORE diagnosis.
Know your body. Recognize the signs. Speak up. Find it early. Change the outcome.

As a fellow survivor, I vividly recall the overwhelming fear and sense of injustice that comes with a breast cancer diagnosis. It's terrifying, and it's okay to acknowledge that. There may be moments when happiness seems out of reach, which is normal and you're allowed to experience every emotion that comes your way. No one has the right to tell you otherwise.If I had to reassure my newly diagnosed self from June 11, 2022, I would tell her that there is light ahead. I am here to tell you the same. Not only will you find your way back to being okay, you'll also find strength during your treatments. You may not feel strong right now, and that's okay. You WILL find your strength. I encourage you to connect with the incredible breast cancer community, that I call the "sisterhood of all sisterhoods," and it truly is. We also have a "brotherhood" out there, so to all of the men out there, space is held for too! We never wished for this, but within it, we find some of the most profound connections and support. This sisterhood has infused my life with more vigor and purpose than I ever imagined. Sure, I still face challenges, but I also live more fully and mindfully.I, along with so many others recommend to approach this part of your life, one day at a time and be open to noticing the good energy surrounding you, because it IS there. With all my love,
