I have had breast cancer twice now in the last 4 years. In 2015 i felt a lump while breastfeeding my baby and playing with my 4 year old little boy. I was 36 years old year when I found out I had breast cancer in both breasts and my right lymph nodes. That year I underwent 12 rounds of chemo, 1 major surgery that included a double mastectomy, axillary dissection, and my ovaries removed - I also found out I was brca 1 positive. My body and spirit were exhausted. After treatment I learned to live in my new normal of being a survivor but the fear always remained that the cancer would come back.
In October 2018 I found a lump on my right implant. Prior my cancer had been HERS 2 positive, this time it is triple negative. I am a nurse practitioner and therefore I am vigilant about self breast exams. I always joke with my doctors that I am the healthiest, sickest person I know. I knew in my heart the cancer had returned. I was devastated that my family and my littles had to experience cancer again. I once again rocked the bald look from 16 rounds of chemo, surgery to remove the tumor, and now I am currently In the middle of 33 daily radiation treatments and 1 more big surgery in the fall.
But —- today I am cancer free!!!! Cancer takes so much - there is a give and take balance. Most days I feel like my energy, health, patience, and peace have been stolen away from me by cancer, but I fight to remain thankful, joyful and positive.
You maybe wondering how can she be thankful for having cancer twice... well it made me slow down, it allowed me to rely on my community, it gives me the opportunity to bring awareness of breast cancer to young women, and it makes me treasure every moment with my family - even when i am missing out on so many of them because of cancer. And finally it makes you cry, scream, and pray to God- He is a big God, a Father, my only hope- He can handle it and He carries me through. So although cancer has taken so much from me the last 4 years, I know that I have so much to live and fight for each day. Life is so precious- live everyday to the fullest. #nobaddays

This week’s attitude is one of gratitude. I’m going to be 100 percent transparent, and admit that this week was a tough one. It’s tested my character, my patience and my faith. Rather than focus on the negative and how stressful things have been, I am choosing to be thankful. I’ve been blessed with a supporting and selfless fiancé, two beautiful children, and loving tribe filled with friends, family and clients. At the end of the day - all bullshit aside - I have love, health, and happiness and it’s important not to let anything or anyone make you lose sight of that. If you’ve contributed to my smile, I thank you

I’m an adult with a mortgage and a baby and a husband and I can cook and paint a pretty picture and I don’t speed and I (mostly) pay my bills on time but hiding under the covers is still a legitimate method of defence when I’ve been watching the Haunting of Hill House before bed and am convinced there’s something hiding in the hallway. .
Not much to do with this but there you go. .

I’m kicking my feet up after completing this mural in Squamish at the @arthouse_seatosky. I feel so full of gratitude and joy for the opportunity to create a public piece of art in the place I live, have @greatbigstory filming its creation, and having a party last night to celebrate! I love this corridor, the forest floor and the alpine peaks, and this mural grew out of spending time in adventure here.
.
Thank you everyone who came out last night for the mural party and throughout the process. Squamish, this one is for you.
