Diagnosed with breast cancer at 34
Health and fitness has always been a part of who I am. For decades I have practiced yoga, enjoyed running, hiking, biking, swimming and weight training. I followed a vegan diet and thought I was in the best shape of my life, that is, until I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 34. "How could this happen to me?"
​
​This shattering news became the catalyst for launching SurvivingBreastCancer.org. I have undergone both neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and hormonal therapies, and noticed that the real trauma from a cancer diagnosis came after I completed my active treatment.
It was when I heard the good news that my next follow-up appointment would not be next week, but in 12 weeks, followed by 6 months, and then in a year.
That's when it hit me. That's when I realized the important role Survivingbreastcancer.org plays in the breast cancer arena and why I have dedicated myself to building a breast cancer survivorship platform.
​
Understanding my own health and wellness not only became my top priority, but it became my full-time job. Managing one’s health isn’t something that you do 3 days a week. It is a commitment to one’s self and life-style choice. The Surviving Breast Cancer organization revolves around a positive mindset, and I want to share that mindset with you! Come take a look around and make yourself at home!
