This week marks 4 years since the birth of my second son and my breast cancer diagnosis. It’s my annual reminder to be grateful for life, and also to encourage other women to check their breasts. Women with dense breast tissue are at higher of breast cancer — early detection truly saves lives.

This week marks my three-year anniversary of being cancer-free! I've now entered a new phase of remission, where the risk of recurrence decreases. Someone once told me that anxiety lessens over time, and while it does, even just a little, this milestone feels like a huge achievement for me. :)
