I’m trying to get this thing to look decent as I’ll probably be posting here more soon. I’m not much of a journal person, so this will have to do for now. It has been a harrowing few weeks as I’ve recently received a diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer, and am currently undergoing a series of tests and procedures to get me ready for treatment. What was initially thought to be stage 1 is now definitely not, but no matter what, we are starting with chemo. I feel like a ticking time bomb and know that I’ll feel better once there is a plan in place and treatment starts. I am prioritizing my mental well being and am already plugging into all the resources at my disposal through NYU’s Perlmutter Cancer Center and beyond. More info on Tuesday after my initial oncology appointment.

*I had a small PEComa in my stomach and gastric lymph nodes; all removed surgically in December 2024.
