Let’s put on our ?

On Christmas Eve 2023, amidst the joy and anticipation, my heart overflowed with love as my husband and I crafted enchanting moments for our beloved six-year-old son.

In the midst of this festivities , a moment of stretching led my hand to an unexpected discovery—a lump nestled in my left breast. Sharing my concerns with my husband and sister, their soothing assurances eased my worries, yet prompted a gentle reminder to seek medical advice for reassurance.

Following the doctor's guidance, I underwent tests, the urgency palpable as I was called back the same day.

January 31st, 2024, a date forever etched in my memory, marked by a whirlwind of emotions—confusion, fear, and profound shock—as the doctor uttered those dreaded words, "I am so sorry, unfortunately, it is cancer."

Navigating through consultations with specialists, the journey became a tumultuous rollercoaster of conflicting opinions. Even though my surgeon was encouraging me to keep my breast, I made the decision to undergo a mastectomy. And I am thankful that I did, as the tumour has split. But I blessed by the news that my lymph nodes appeared unscathed.

However, another blow struck with the revelation that cancer cells had hit my lymph nodes. The waiting game for PET scan results felt interminable, yet upon learning that the cancer had not spread, gratitude washed over me in waves of relief. The cancer had not spread ?

For the next five months, I embark on a journey of chemotherapy, radiation, and further surgeries. 

In the midst of adversity, I discovered an inner strength and faith, transforming the scariest of times into an opportunity for growth and gratitude. As my perspective shifted, each moment became infused with newfound depth and appreciation for life's fragility and resilience.

Reflecting on my early journey, I am humbled by the realization of my fortune, mindful that not all share the same blessings. The fear etched on the faces of my loved ones serves as a poignant reminder of the power of solidarity and support.

To know that not everyone gets that sense of relief. In solidarity of all the cancer warriors, I pledge to shave my head, reclaiming beauty in all forms, and standing proud alongside other courageous souls. 

To my cherished circle, whose unwavering love illuminated the path through the storm, I am forever grateful. Their unwavering support has been my guiding light, reaffirming that in the face of adversity, love triumphs above all.

Now it is time to take crash this cancer, because with my stubbornness and the powerhouse I have behind! Cancer you stand no chance
