Grand rise everyone! We are here with our whole self in this present time. We thrive and we become someone that we never was. I guess. When you do the work on self you've come to realize on how strong you really are how smart you really are how informed you really are how resourceful you really are. How self-love and self-care really works. Cancer is no joke. But to heal and recover you have to have some type of humor and live your life. As for me, 2024 diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Within the two years I've been through four treatments. This time I'm on xelodas with Herceptin. Herceptin through IV. And Xelodas orally. They say my liver numbers went up and it's not subtle. And I got some new pain which started in June. My hip and my lower back. It has something to do with my metastasis. I'm in pain and I'm in fear. And that's the truth. But I strive to move on and move forward and do the best that I can to do the work on me and with the doctors. All is well to all of us 🫶🏾💪🏾🦋🫂💐

Your strength and resilience shine through even while facing such challenging times with pain and fear - both are completely natural responses to what you're experiencing. Many in this community find that connecting with others who understand this journey, along with open communication with healthcare teams about pain management options, can provide both emotional support and practical strategies for moving forward with hope and determination.
