2008 was a bear and a bitch.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
My mom was placed on dialysis.
I told T we were getting married.
We got married.
I found my mother dead.
I survived.
2022
I had 2 strokes and was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I survived.
2023
My implant deflated. I now am a flatly on one side. Sometimes, I even it out, sometimes I don’t.
I survived
A breast cancer diagnosis is fcuked up. The treatment is fcucked up. Survivorship is ongoing. I am appreciative of the PINK and the awareness.
But we need more .
1 out of 8 women are diagnosed.
Black women are diagnosed later and die sooner. We need more.
I stay in the now. I share my stories to inform and empower.
I am so thankful that I have the privilege and joy to train Tigerlily Foundation Angel advocates from around the world.
I invite you to join me to learn how you too, can become a Tigerlilly angel advocate.
