In July of 2017 I felt something unusual in my breast. At a routine check up I asked my Doctor to check it out. Two days later I was diagnosed with stage 2B Invasive Lobular Carcinoma aka Breast Cancer.
Two weeks later I had a bilateral mastectomy followed by 8 rounds of chemotherapy and 2 reconstruction surgeries.
I knew immediately upon diagnosis that I had to give my disease purpose.
After I told all my close friends and family about my cancer, I took to social media to announce my diagnosis.
I created a YouTube channel to document my journey in real-time. The videos are meant to inspire and educate women going through cancer as well as their support system.
