“
I hate admitting this, but I was a mess after being diagnosed with breast cancer. You can have an army of support behind you, but they don’t know what it’s like to fear for your life. I would text my mentor in my darkest moments, and she would encourage me. I could tell her my worries without fear of judgment and found comfort in her quiet confidence that things would be okay. I never felt alone, and for that, I am so grateful.”
