It was a January day in 2020 when I opened up my laptop and began writing.

I had just finished my radiation, and I was exhausted and emotional. I needed some way to express what I’d been through. 

I was a prolific journal writer in my teenage years and discovered that writing was an excellent way to unravel my emotions. As I relived the biopsies and the radiation treatments, I began to feel the weight of what I’d been through. The writing was instrumental in my recovery process.

After a few months of daily writing, I was pleased to see that I had the first draft of a book. While it wasn’t in shape yet to be published, completing the manuscript was a victory for me.

A few months later, I began this blog and started sharing my story on social media.
