Life after cancer

Hello. I was diagnosed with stage 1b triple positive breast cancer on July 24th 2021. I never let it beat me down and survived chemo, radiation, a positive lymph node and a double mastectomy and almost a year of immotherapy to attack my positive Her2. After a hysterectomy, menopause was tough. I sought help for anxiety and started on WW, weight lifting and do a 30 min daily walk at lunch and things started to get easier after menopause. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42. I still shout to all the rooftops on social media how important mammograms are! If I would of skipped a year after Covid, things could of been worse for me.

I’ve met some other young survivors and that emotional support has been key to my healing journey. We still meet once a month and talk about our journey’s.
