Biggest Fear When Diagnosed

That I would not be here for my young children.

How did you overcome that fear?

Action!

What got you through your cancer experience?

My family and my faith. I firmly believe that all things happen for a reason.

What advice would you like to pass on to others?

A diagnosis is not a death sentence. You have the power inside you to be victorious.

What was the most important lesson you learned?

To listen to and always trust my gut instinct.

What would you like to tell other women who are either newly diagnosed or too afraid to seek treatment?

Seek out your sisters in this battle, read everything you can get your hands on and trust yourself. You have more strength than you know.

Best advice given to me by a Survivor

Love yourself.
