    As for me - I've never met you, I'll be damned if I let you hurt anyone that way ever again.

    July 24, 2020

    Sometimes they show up dressed in the form of a lie your 3 year old self begins believing as a result of you witnessing the strongest person you know shattered from the pain of the heartache they felt. Sometimes they show up in the form of childhood illness and surgeries and trauma on your little body. Sometimes they show up…

    A Thought On Divisions: A Day In The Life of a Stage IV Breast Cancer Patient

    October 31, 2018

    A Thought on Divisions October 31, 2018 By Leah Taylor I’ve been thinking about an issue I’ve noticed in the breast cancer community over the last eight years. Eight years you say? Yup, eight years. Interesting story… about 5 months after diagnosis #1 in my breast cancer story in the fall of 2010, I went to a famous breast cancer…

    October 28, 2018

    October 28, 2018 By Leah Taylor There is a harsh reality in all of our lives. No matter what is going on, life goes on. I have been in the hospital since last Thursday, October 24, 2018.

    A Day in the Life – Stage IV

    October 4, 2018

    By: Leah Taylor What you are about to read is my experience from September 25, 2018. It could be quite difficult to read for anyone dealing with breast cancer. It is raw and real. 6:15 a.m. I wake up. The bed leaves me stiff but I am grateful for my son and his family and their extra bed. So, I…

    Stand Up For Your Beliefs

    September 8, 2018

      By: Steve Del Gardo For the last several years, well mostly the last 5 years, I have read many articles, posts on social media on how people are imposing their beliefs on others when it involves cancer. Telling us how to use certain words to describe our cancer journey or how we should feel. Telling us not to use…

    This Mundane World of Ours

    April 25, 2018

    By: Ambrose Kirkland We live in a world where people simply seem to forget things so easily now a day.  They’ve become so mundane about life. No glory, gore or guts is just another day for most people. We, meaning someone like me, a man who was diagnosed with breast cancer, our world, and our lives simply change. Being diagnosed…

    What Does Community Look Like To Us…

    April 10, 2018

    Sometimes circumstances call for you to have a conversation you NEVER wanted to have, and truthfully, if everyone treated everyone else they way they would like to be treated, these types of conversation would never come up. When we set out on creating a website to tell our truths surrounding our experiences, we never envisioned other women wanting to use…

    The Future Doesn’t Feel That Bright

    April 3, 2018

    Meet Emma.  A Sheffield based blogger with a penchant for gin and craft beer, travelling, snowboarding, sailing and slowing doing up her house. She’s aggressively dog friendly, and also had a brush with Breast Cancer. My fear about this cancer recurrence sneaks up on me, between my flippant Instagram posts and jokes with Drs about replacing my Sternum with Bluetooth…

    Debunking the Myths and Fears of Lymphedema

    April 2, 2018

    By: Jenni Rai, PT, CLT When I initially began working with women who had breast cancer, I was often the first person to mention “lymphedema” to them. This was in 2005, and at the time we Physical Therapists and Certified Lymphedema Therapists (at least the ones I worked with) perceived breast surgeons to find lymphedema insulting. A sort of, “I…
