In March 2025, I was diagnosed with breast cancer—just nine months after receiving a “clear” mammogram in June 2024. A month later, I learned it was stage IV inflammatory breast cancer, a rare and aggressive form of the disease.
A breast cancer diagnosis is truly life-changing. It affects not only the person diagnosed—physically, mentally, and emotionally—but also deeply impacts their family and friends. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have the most amazing support system, and now I want to share that strength and hope with others.
