I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in 2013 and tested positive for the brca gene. After
being extremely sick after chemo treatments and having multiple surgeries, I decided I wanted to help
myself and others not have to go thru that again. The fear of a recurrence is real, even though it may
dim over time. That is why I joined bcRAN . To be the voice for everyone who has gone thru this
disease and lost the battle. I want help and be part of the solution. I feel my experience as a breast
cancer survivor can be very helpful to others. I am very aware that when breast cancer comes back, it
usually comes back as metastatic breast cancer. At first I was afraid to talk or think about metastatic
breast cancer, because it seemed to close. But am exited to learn, which helps with healing.
