Tammy Lynn shares her battle with Stage 3 Grade 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Breast Cancer. Estrogen, Progesterone positive Her2 negative.  Tammy Lynn's faith has deeply inspired me as she openly shares her Journey with Jesus to make it through the Breast Cancer diagnosis. She took a leap of faith to step out from all she knew into full time ministry. After her diagnosis with Breast cancer it left her seeking answers and trusting God's plan for her life.  God worked out all the details and she walked away strengthened from the journey and she is leading others in their own faith journeys. What an incredible story of faith in the hard times. Beauty from Ashes. This journey with Breast Cancer has also led her to eating healthier and being more aware of what she is putting in and on her body.

Jennifer is a Light in this world! She faced DCIS ER+ PR- Her2 - Breast cancer. Her story encourages us to listen to our bodies and always be your own advocate! She is a pastors wife, mom of 3 wonderful kids, teacher, friend, sister, and so much more! She has not let cancer define her and instead she is now using her journey to help others. She and her friend Dr. Lasharon faced Breast cancer together and decided they have a call to help others going through this horrible battle. You don't have to go it alone! They started Table Talk, a now national breast cancer support group. It started just before the Pandemic and then survived from turning to Zoom meetings. This has allowed the group to continue to grow over the years and now has members from all over who would not be able to attend if face to face. The group meets once a month and you can do it from the comforts of your home or in a park or where ever you'd like! If you'd like to join Table Talk and be encouraged along your journey then I will post the link below. The best way to contact Jennifer is through her email and she will send you the dates so you can connect with a Zoom link.
