“Gratitude and self-love — those are the biggest lessons I’ve taken from the past 366 days since finishing chemo.
I’m deeply grateful for every part of the journey — the fear, the anxiety, the tears, and the scars — because they led me to where I am now. I’m thankful for everything cancer has taught me, for the unwavering support I’ve had, and for the moments that have shaped me into someone more patient, compassionate, and strong.
I’ll never be the same person I was before cancer — and I’ve finally made peace with that. I love who I’ve become: present, joyful, and alive.”
