How did cancer alter your lifestyle? Cancer may have physically put me back for a short time, but it changed my perspective on life to never take anything for granted and to always be able to see the positives in life. Things could always be worse! It also really strengthened my relationship with God!

What kept/keeps you going? My family, personal goals, and faith!

What makes your story unique or helpful to others? I was in the best shape of my life, and cancer didn’t care! My story could be helpful to others in guidance through the unknown and in seeing how I personally managed.

Any advice for those coming behind you? Look up and ahead! Always look at the blessings you DO have and what you can still do! Don’t let cancer take your life from you – in more ways than one.

Do you have a funny cancer story? Tattoo eyebrows… need I say more….?
