On Monday, I gave a speech at our school's annual Women's Guild Breast Cancer Awareness meeting. My friend video taped it on her phone. I knew I was speaking, but had nothing prepared. Here is my off the cuff speech for your viewing pleasure. I've had mixed reviews about the audio... most everyone can hear it though.
At the age of 36 I went in for a baseline mammogram. Two weeks later, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. After 7 months of treatment, and 5 years of hormonal therapy, my cancer returned in 2017. I am now a Stage 4 cancer patient focusing on not just surviving, but also thriving.
