- THEIR STORIES #23 - How Their Cancer Affected Others
There is something about knowing that your cancer is going to affect others. AFTER you and your loved ones get through all of the diagnosis & treatment, which alone affects just simply how you have to live and survive day to day – as those days, months, sometimes years are not NORMAL. After all of THAT, you’re all on the other side. And are all affected, as cancer affects everyone.

31 min - THEIR STORIES #21 - Talking Cancer
Talking about cancer isn’t easy. But it’s definitely one of those things, at least it is for me, that the more you talk about it, the easier it is. And the more people you talk about it with, the more you learn. So I’m so incredibly grateful to the infamous 15 – who so willingly talked about their cancer with me.

25 min - THEIR STORIES #20 - Sheila's Story
A mom, and now grandma, who did regular self-exams, and found her cancer by feeling something that was just not quite right. And took control of her situation like taking the bull by the horns. Had multiple ups and downs, as we all do, but as Sheila tells it, it’s how you handle those ups and downs that truly tells who you are.

41 min - THEIR STORIES #19 - Allyson's Story
Before Allyson found her cancer, she was actually getting regular mammograms for four years. However her cancer was found because she felt a pain in her breast, right where her underwire bra fit, and knew that it wasn’t right. Her doctor swore it was nothing, most likely due to the fact that she was getting those regular mammograms. But she was diagnosed with DCIS. She was that RARE form of DCIS. While DCIS is now found far more frequently because of mammograms, hers wasn’t found by mammogram, but found by that pain. Correction – it was found by her listening to her body, and trusting her instincts.

37 min - MY STORY #17 - Love to the Caregivers
Being a caregiver, takes its toll on your life. The person receiving the diagnosis, their life of course turns upside down, but the part that sucks even more is knowing that it will turn the caregiver’s life a fast 180 as well. The thing to remember most, that, just like cancer, you are not alone. Sadly you are not the first to be a caregiver to someone with cancer. You’re not the only one going through it now, and even more unfortunate, you definitely won’t be the last. But also, just like cancer, it’s not the same for everyone. Know that there are resources out there.

21 min - MY STORY #16 - My Reconstruction
Even though the surgery, hospital stay and recovery for a mastectomy with prosthesis is shorter than if you use your own tissue, aka the FLAP surgery, there are multiple procedures following to complete your reconstruction. But with most good things in life, sometimes it’s definitely worth the wait.

27 min - MY STORY #15 - My Bi-Lateral Mastectomy
When a woman is told she needs to have a mastectomy, there’s a world wind of thoughts, questions, worries, and more that come forth. Besides the why a mastectomy at all and the medicine and science that come with that or the decision of choosing a single vs a double and what comes with that … there’s also the question of ‘what will it look like afterwards?’ ‘what will I look like afterwards?’ Beyond the medical reasons, the actual thought process that goes through deciding to remove your breast or breasts can be a complex one.
