My cancer journey has been a multifaceted experience. I was diagnosed in 2023 with stage 1A breast cancer, HER2-. I have been cancer free for the last two years. Physically the treatment seemed to conclude relatively quickly, yet the mental and emotional aspects continue to be a work in progress. One of the key components of my ongoing recovery is my prescribed regimen of tamoxifen, which I will continue for a total of five years since my cancer was hormone receptor positive and tied to estrogen. Despite the challenges that come with the journey, my spirit remains high. I draw a massive amount of strength from my husband and our children, who are my greatest motivators. Their support helps me navigate the continued obstacles I face, making each day brighter and filled with hope as I move forward on this path of healing and resilience.
