Last week in Part 1, I shared the story of being diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer at just 26 years old — the shock, fear, and life-altering moment that changed everything.

In Part 2, I talk about what came next.

After living with metastatic disease for 27 years, my perspective on life, time, fear, and what truly matters has shifted in ways I never expected.

This episode is about:
• learning to live fully inside uncertainty
• letting go of waiting for life to feel safe
• naming the hard stuff without being consumed by it
• and discovering meaning alongside ongoing treatment

It’s not about staying positive.
It’s about staying present.

If you’re living with cancer, loving someone who is, or navigating a season of life that feels uncertain or heavy, I hope this conversation reminds you that life can still be meaningful — even here.

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.

In this special episode of I’m Still Here, Heather sits down with her son Ty to talk openly about his adoption journey, growing up as a brown child in a rural community, and what it’s been like navigating identity, belonging, and difference.

Ty shares his story of being adopted from India, what family means when you don’t share DNA, and the moments that shaped how he sees himself and the world. Together, they talk about racism, being pulled over, finding confidence, developing empathy, and how music became Ty’s way of expressing his life experiences.

This is an honest, real conversation about growing up different, learning to be comfortable in your own skin, and finding your people — even when it isn’t easy.
