On May 16th, 2021, my life changed forever. I went to the ER with a fever that I thought was associated with my C- Section only to find out that I have Stage 4 Breast Cancer that has metastasized to my liver. As a 29 year-old woman, I couldn't believe the diagnosis that was given to me nor the uncertainty for my future. I struggled with accepting the unknowns for myself, as well as my family and friends. After a whirlwind of scans, tests, biopsies, appointments, and emotions, I immediately started chemo. Over ✨THREE ✨ year later, thanks to all of the support from my amazing family and friends, I am currently on a newer treatment & thriving.
Over the past couple of years, our team has been able to grow thanks to all my family and friends and especially our Upper Gwynedd Firehouse family. I hope that our team grows even larger this year.
One support that I didn't even realize I needed but was lucky to have found, was Unite for HER. Receiving my box filled with items to help with my self-care along with the services provided using the passport is indescribable. My goal is to be able to help support as many other women to receive and experience the same services that was afforded to me.
