Episode 27: My Breast Cancer Story
Oct 31, 2022
Today is a very special episode of the Grateful Warrior Podcast. I'm celebrating my breast cancer survivorversary, so I'm sharing my breast cancer story, the story behind the story, and the events I have never shared publicly. I will also share what it was really like to be engaged, gain a stepson and go through treatment simultaneously. Today is going to be a little more raw and a little more unplugged.
Together we unpack:
- Before my diagnosis (3:16)
- The morning I found my lump (4:50)
- Pushing for answers (5:30)
- Becoming a cancer patient, a fiancé, and a soon-to-be stepmother (7:28)
- Testing, waiting, and more waiting (9:56)
- To chemo or not to chemo (15:27)
- Becoming a coconut head (19:46)
- Navigating the emotions with life changes (24:21)
- Entering step-motherhood (27:35)
- Rock bottom brokenness (30:00)
- The end of radiation (35:28)
