I am a breast cancer survivor. I started my journey of hope after I was diagnosed with DCIS in March of 2021 after a routine mammogram. I had a biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis, a lumpectomy in June and a second lumpectomy in July to make sure all cancer cells were gone. 

I chose radiation therapy in hopes of decreasing my chances of breast cancer in the future. I had 15 radiation treatments beginning the end of September and ended mid October.  Several weeks of healing afterwards was the hardest part of my journey. 

With the loving encouragement and strength from my partner in life and husband, and the support and love from our children, my parents and friends, I kicked cancer’s ass! I survived and look forward to the wonderful future ahead! 

Greg and I are participating in our fourth CIBC Run for the Cure being held on October 6th in Wolfville to help spread awareness and to encourage mammograms and early detection of breast cancer. Annual mammograms can save your life. Please support the cause if you can and donate.
