A Journey through Breast Cancer & Living Well
Health/wellness/life as a breast cancer survivor.
Guide to living your best life!
Balancing the Hard and the Healing
I created this space to share my journey with breast cancer—the raw moments, the hard-won victories, and the lessons learned along the way. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or seeking information and hope, you’re not alone here. This page is therapy for me in journaling this experience. I hope to look back someday and close this out knowing it is all behind me and that it becomes an archive of sorts to help the next person along the way.

Trauma Triggers
I got the message last night from a friend that I always dread. “Hey Tiff, how did you handle the mental aspect of waiting on biopsy results”. My heart sank. This is my 6th friend/family member who has been diagnosed since my diagnosis. As much as you feel you have moved on past the bell…
Amped Up – Post Infusion Effects
I was fortunate that my insurance company approved my infusion in time for me to get a boost ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. I want to say I feel some improvement, but all things I read say it will really be 4-6 weeks until I see the full effect. I believe I have to wait…
Iron Stores and Infusions
I was hoping that my next post would be about how the estrogenic effects on my uterus had subsided. Instead my condition has gotten worse. Today marks 21 consecutive days of heavy bleeding, and 28 days out of the last 45 days in total bleeding. For those who like statistics, that equates to 62% of…
The Revolt
