Lifting each other up!

Thoughts from Louisa -Learn Look Locate Ambassador from Colorado:⁠

💙 2.7 years into being on Tamoxifen for 10 years … 2.6 years post radiation … 2.7 years post chemo … 2.11 years post surgery … this November 30 will be three years since finding a golf ball tumor in my left breast…⁠
.⁠
💙 Am I cancer free … no one can guarantee that … but at this point I choose to live happy… hopeful… healed…⁠
.⁠
💙 My hair is thick and curly… my body is healthy… my mind is strong… my heart is soft … I cry when I need to … and laugh often… I feel everything I want and need to feel…⁠
.⁠
💙 There is no way I would be where I am today without the tremendous support of my loving world… I’m beyond humbled and find myself at a loss for words that truly express how grateful I am… for everyone who supports me… and my own strength…⁠
.⁠
💙 I’m humbled by the love of my immediate support group who cold capped me (it ABSOLUTELY works) … housed me (my medical facility is six hours from my home) … sat for hours at appointments with me… fed me … and pealed me up off the ground when I mentally didn’t think I could do any of it anymore…⁠
.⁠
💙 Today … I tell my partner Jake… thank you for wiping my tears as I melted down over and over so that I could find strength to come back up … never once making it about him.⁠
.⁠
💙 Today … I smile and celebrate life.⁠
.⁠
💙 To my Breasties … those still here… and those who have gained their wings… you give me such strength … I love you each … beyond measure…⁠
.⁠
💙 Of all breast cancer cases… 11% are young women … me included … typically it is aggressive … it is terrifying … it is maddening … it is not fair … it is very real … but we band together… and with others…and we fight … we fight for our lives … we fight for our happiness … we will never stop fighting for us!⁠
