I’d like to thank every single one of you for your well wishes, love and prayers over the past few weeks. I have felt so loved and supported during the most challenging time in my life
Thanks to my exceptional team of absolute SUPER WOMEN @drtiffanygrunwald and Dr DiNome my surgery was long, 7 hours that is but a huge success! Not only are they exceptionally talented/ knowledgeable surgeons they are both truly humble & kind souls that have shown me so much love and compassion. I couldn’t have chosen a better DREAM TEAM!! Time and research is everything. Don’t stop with your first referral, research, meet and don’t stop until you feel with your decision
I’m on the mend and recovering well. Post op appointments this week and my final reconstructive surgery will be in August.
Much love C XO

Cada vez que tengo la oportunidad de compartir mi testimonio, de traspasar mi experiencia tanto en el cáncer como en la montaña, y transformar esos pequeños sueños que cada uno tiene en posibles, reafirmo la convicción de haber tomado el camino correcto. Tanto aprendo con cada una de estas presentaciones que el agradecimiento es genuino y me emociona cuando recorren este camino conmigo. Entrego lo vivido para que la huella de mis pies no se la lleve el viento, que la estela de mi vida ilumine algún alma atrapada en la oscuridad y encuentre ese camino de salida.... te acompaño, me acompañas.... sigamos juntos .

My goal with this account is to be totally real, raw, and honest about my journey. So, here it is. I knew I was going to lose my hair and I was prepared! I had wigs, scarfs, and hats. However, nothing can REALLY prepare you for the feeling of your hair falling out in clumps in the shower Up until this point I managed to remain pretty positive about the whole cancer experience, but losing my hair marked a new phase. It was a tough choice but I decided the best route was to bite the bullet and shave it off instead of slowly watching it all fall out ♀️ After this, I truly felt like a “cancer patient” for the first time. .
.
Having my new husband shave my head was definitely NOT one of the things I was expecting to do in 2018, but I know it’s a necessary evil to get me where I need to be. Not going to lie, playing Mariah in the background did help a little ♀️Here’s to growing my hair back, and kicking cancers butt in 2019!!!
From @carrooooola
I got diagnosed with cancer in my uterus in November and got treated with the most aggressive chemotherapy. It was so hard and seemed impossible but here I am a few days shy from getting my catheter removed and ready to start my life. I am 25 years old and I am strong and it's never too late. With love and faith anything is possible. I prayed everyday and prayers worked because I'm getting my second chance at life.

Today I had my post-op appointment and everything is healing really well The doctor removed the tumor and five lymph nodes. Luckily the incisions aren’t that sore but I have pain and numbness down the back of my left arm. The nurse explained that with the removal of lymph nodes, nerves get severed and try to regenerate. To be honest, I think the hardest part is not being able to pick up this fur ball for 4 weeks (but really though...)
.
.
Next steps include 6 weeks of daily radiation which will start once I’m fully healed. Sometimes this journey seems never ending but I’m grateful to [slowly] be getting closer to the end‼️
I’ve been kind of MIA on social lately as the last ~8 weeks of chemo thoroughly kicked my butt. Truth is, this is what most days looked like (not that I can complain too much for getting to snuggle with this fur baby). But, after a total of 26 grueling weeks, chemoisover
.

Tomorrow I move on to the next phase of my treatment as I’ll be getting surgery at UCSF. I’m getting a partial mastectomy and am feeling really good about my decision and surgery team, however, good vibes are always appreciated!

A huge shoutout to my momma @bluerunfarm who stayed with us in Cali for months helping me through chemo. Today my mother-in-law @rettadear arrives to help me through surgery. Moms are absolutely the most giving and selfless people on this earth Feeling so #blessed
Today’s post isn’t about me. It’s about a real life warrior

You’d never guess by looking at her, but my beautiful friend Colleen aka @mybreastielife’s life was turned upside down after returning from her honeymoon when she learned she had stage 2 breast cancer at only 29 years old ◾️She’s sharing her courageous story on the blog here a☝

When I started this blog, I wanted to shine a light on the women who make me and others better. Colleen is the pinnacle of strength Please share as her courage will inspire, give you perspective but mostly uplift you ❤️
Hi everyone ✌️ In one weeks time I am participating in a charity walk @jaysmarch walking from Batemans bay to Sydney 300k in 7days to raise funds & awareness for #melanoma a terrible disease that took my beautiful wife @leha_debono life @ age 29, 3 months after being married. Not a day goes by I don't feel the pain of watching someone you love die & knowing they will not get the chance to grow old, so I will continue to do everything I can to put an end to this disease. So if you have been affected this is also for you ! Hope to have you all pushing me along the way ! Any donations large or small are welcome ( link in bio ) cheers #melanomaawareness #earlydetection #melanomasucks #fuckcancer #leahslegacy #peaceloveleah #jayslongestmelanomamarch #walkingforacute
Learning Self care & healthy habits can begin at 2! A simple visual checkup & counting teeth together while comforted in mommy or daddy’s arms is a sweet way to learn to love one’s teeth. Mommies and daddies and I are part of that sweet health team!
