At 26 years old, I was diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer — a moment that changed everything in an instant.

In Part 1 of my story, I share what led up to my diagnosis, the shock of hearing the words “stage four,” and what those early days of fear, uncertainty, and life-altering decisions were really like.

This isn’t a clinical cancer story.
It’s the human side — the emotions, the questions, the grief, and the beginning of learning how to live inside a life I never planned for.

If you’re newly diagnosed, supporting someone you love, or walking through something that feels overwhelming, this episode is for you.

Part 2 will dive into how those early experiences shaped the way I live fully with metastatic disease today.
