Perkybits: Riding the Waves of Life

About Perkybits: Riding the Waves of Life

Claire is a 41 year old breast cancer patient who is now living with metastatic breast cancer after having found out her breast cancer had spread to her liver and bones at the end of 2025. Her original diagnosis was in June 2014, after finding the breast lump herself in the shower. She went thru getting a lumpectomy, chemotherapy where she lost her hair, and 36 rounds of radiation. She continued on with Tamoxifen for a total of 8 years, after taking breaks to have her children, who are now 6 and 7 years old. She continues to live through a vibrant and positive lens alongside her husband and their blended family which includes a 16 year old stepdaughter, as well as her own two children. Claire speaks freely and openly about her breast cancer story and most recently her metastatic diagnosis in hopes of helping other women. Listen in as she rides the waves of life in her Perkybits way!
