Hi, and Welcome!

I'm Jennifer!

In 2019, I was diagnosed with DCIS, Stage Zero Breast Cancer, at 41. In a flash, I went from being a healthy mom to a cancer patient.

I quickly learned that stage zero cancer doesn’t mean zero challenges.

Encouragement. Whenever you need it.

Kind Words from Readers.

"I just want to thank you for your blog. I read almost every entry last night and it helped so much to hear another person’s first hand experience."

"I just wanted to send a heartfelt “thank you” for your IG feed and blog. I found you on IG just before my lumpectomy for DCIS at the end of January. I read all your blog posts and continue to. What a wonderful help they are. I have an amazing support network, but your voice and guidance still add so much: comfort, ideas, comradeship, and more."

"Jennifer and I met through the site on IG I reached out to her as I had a particularly complex situation and was scared. She went as far as getting on a call with me to help me plan out medical questions and think about next steps. She was more than willing to help a total stranger and that speaks volumes to the dedication she has to this cause"

"Jennifer Douglas' book fills a void between a strictly clinical book about breast cancer and a strictly personal memoir of one survivor. Reading it is like having a very well informed sister or close friend share every step of her journey, the emotional, practical and personal aspects, as well as valuable and understandable information about the medical side. Highly recommend to any woman diagnosed with or suspected to have breast cancer. "
