Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day and it feels hard to put into words what this past year has been like.
One year ago, I was stepping into the unknown — facing a BRCA-positive ovarian cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy, major surgery, and so many moments of fear and uncertainty. I truly didn’t know what my future would look like.
Today, one year later, I’m here. Healing. Living. Loving my family harder. Appreciating the little things more deeply. And walking forward on a lifetime remission path with so much gratitude.
This journey has changed me. It has taught me to slow down, listen to my body, lean on faith, and accept support from the people around me. There were hard days, painful days, and moments I didn’t think I was strong enough — but there was also incredible love, hope, and healing.
If sharing my story helps even one woman pay attention to symptoms sooner, advocate harder for herself, or feel less alone, then it’s worth it. Ovarian cancer awareness matters.
Thank you to my family, friends, medical teams, and everyone who has walked beside me this past year. I carry so much gratitude for all of you.
And to anyone currently in the middle of their own cancer journey: there is still hope ahead. 💙❤️🔥🔥
