Battling Breast Cancer
Tell me about yourself before you were diagnosed with breast cancer? Before diagnosed with breast cancer, I was just like any other 25 year old. My husband and I recently relocated from Nashville to Denver, and we were having a blast exploring our new home city. Of course our lifestyle changed a little bit when I found out I was pregnant, but it didn’t change drastically until the diagnosis of my breast cancer. How has being diagnosed with breast cancer impacted your outlook on life? It’s certainly given me a wakeup call—I used to be very high strung and worry about the little things, but when you’re faced with a serious diagnosis like cancer your priorities seem to realign on their own. I’ve taken time to focus on every single minute with my husband, because for the first time I had a real reality check about my own mortality. When 20 somethings take wedding vows, I think most of us assume the “sickness and in health” will be more like 60 years down the road, instead of 25. How were you diagnosed/how did you find out that you had breast cancer?
