In this deeply personal video, I open up about the first part of my breast cancer journey. From the shock of receiving my diagnosis of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma to the ongoing health battles that followed, this is a raw and real look into my experience. I share how I faced moments of defeat but found the strength to rise, one step at a time, through resilience and determination.

This story isn’t just about surviving breast cancer; it’s about reclaiming my life after the diagnosis, navigating countless medical challenges, and learning to advocate for myself. I hope by sharing these vulnerable moments, I can offer inspiration to others who are battling cancer or supporting someone who is. You are not alone—keep fighting.
