It was a special weekend for me but he still called. It wasn’t just my birthday. It was also my bachelorette party. Within twenty-four hours, ten of my friends would be together in the mountains. My sister was in the air flying to me when he called. When I was first given this terminal diagnosis….

Metastatic Breast Cancer Scans
I have been called to share more about my journey on my blog. A few weeks ago I shared what a cancerversary is and why I celebrate mine. Today I am sharing a recap of my day spent undergoing a full body scan of bone and soft tissue at UC Health. I was diagnosed with…
