When life gives you lemons…

In December 2018, at 39 years old, life handed me lemons—I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Invasive lobular carcinoma with lymph node involvement; ER/PR positive, HER2 negative. The road ahead was daunting: six rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, 30 rounds of radiation, reconstruction, and ongoing hormone therapy.

Like turning lemons into pink lemonade, I faced each step with resilience, transforming hardship into strength.
