Feeling Lost In Your Cancer Diagnosis?
If you have been diagnosed with cancer and are feeling overwhelmed with everything they're throwing at you, you are not alone.
Despite our medical team's best intentions, it's hard to wrap your head around the drastic shift your life has taken.
This is why I created Thriving Through Cancer. It's the road map I wish I had when I was going through Stage III Breast Cancer in 2018/2019.
This resource will teach you all the little things your medical team doesn't know to tell you. Things that only women in our shoes would understand.
