Part 3 One of the hardest decisions not because there was no option but because nothing really felt certain. I remember asking to start after my daughter’s birthday. I just wanted that time (and more time) with her. The fear of her losing her mother at a young age made everything harder, espe

After the biopsy, I received an unexpected call from the hospital to rearrange the appointment. I kinda knew something was not right. It still feels so vivid. Cancer never truly leaves (even after remission)… and today feels a little heavier than usual after reading about a passing of a

One question I get quite often is how I found out about my cancer. To be honest, I didn’t think much of it at first and almost ignored it. This was how it started in 2021. I will share what happened next in part 2. P.S. If you’re new here, thank you for being here. I’m sharing more abo

Why do some of us keep talking about what we’ve been through? I used to think about this quite a bit and there were honestly (many) moments where I stopped myself from sharing more because I didn’t want people to think I was holding on to it or worse, that I was somehow using it. And I get it

When I was first diagnosed, that was the cry of my heart: “Why didn’t You heal me, God?” I prayed for instant healing, but it didn’t come the way I hoped. Instead, I found His presence in the waiting, in every treatment, every tear, and every small blessing and victory that kept me going.

We mothers check on everyone else, but how often do we check on ourselves? To every mom still breastfeeding, or just weaned - this is for you. 💕 I used to nurse my daughter every night. Mastitis, lumpy breasts, nothing unusual. Then one day after weaning, I felt distinct lumps while shower

When I was diagnosed with Stage 2 HER2+ ER+ breast cancer in my first trimester, the first treatment plan I heard was surgery. But surgery meant hours under general anaesthesia… and a serious risk to my unborn child. That’s when I was asked a question no mother should ever have to answer: “Do yo

Pregnant. First trimester. And diagnosed with breast cancer. 25 Aug 2021 was the day my life split into before and after. While the world was adjusting to Covid, I had to adjust to the unthinkable. Chemo during pregnancy. A premature birth. Surgery. Tears. Fears. Scars. Yet also - fai
