Chemotherapy Round 4: Dancing with the Devil Begins
I was on such a high after the pink party, I felt unstoppable. This energy sure came in handy during the next three rounds of chemo as things started to go down hill. I say that I danced with the devil during these treatments and that jerk was trying to push me right off the dance floor!

The most epic plastic surgeon approved Christmas gift!
18 months ago I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstructive surgery. This surgery left me missing a body part that I was pretty sad to lose but have learned to live without. This Christmas, my husband gave me the gift of getting this body part back!

Back to school during Covid 19!
All the feelings were felt yesterday, all across our beautiful province of Nova Scotia as children headed back to school. As a new survivor I was apprehensive but confident with our schools plan. To be alive during these crazy times is a beautiful thing! To be there yesterday to see my kids off, was the most amazing moment for me and I hope for you too! These time are crazy but the good is there, the love is there, you just need to find it and focus on it.

To show up or not to show up, that is the question.
The answer is, just show up! In this episode, I will share how last week I showed up for my husband & our friends to say good bye to their 20 year old son. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever done and I am so proud that I just showed up. Have you ever not shown up for someone because you thought it was just too much for YOU to handle? If so, give it some thought and the next time you get the chance, just show up!

Perspective: It's a game changer
How many people have said thank you to their cancer? Probably not many. I have learned & gained so much throughout this journey, it's hard to focus on anything other than gratitude at this point. Not everyone feels the same and I respect that, but this is how I feel.

The waiting game: From lump detection to diagnoses
Almost 90 days I waited to be told that I had breast cancer after I found the lump. 90 days of nausea, fear & insomnia. 90 days of crying each and every time I looked at my kids. Those 90 days almost killed me.
