cancerversaries are all about different milestones we hit during our diagnosis.. and today is my 2 year lymph node removal day! do you know what lymphedema is? March is lymphedema awareness month and it's super important we all begin to pay attention to this disease more 🎀 #lymphedema #lymphedemaawareness #lta #lymphedematreatmentact #breastcancer #cancertok #cancerversary #advocateforyourself #advocacy
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to talk to @paige_previvor (outside the topic of breast cancer) about the DJs we both loved.. so this song seemed fitting to sum up my experience with the @drsusanlovefoundation ❣️
It's taken me a while to figure out the words to describe this weekend, to think about how much gratitude, honor, and LOVE that was felt..
..but I'm going to be honest, I almost cancelled my trip.
The night before I was supposed to leave I had a huge panic attack. I kept thinking about how I don't belong there, there's other people who are way more experienced than me that should be there.
I was so scared, but I remembered being this scared before and thought about how many more times I'll probably be scared again in the future.
Man am I glad I went 💖
Being surrounded by other advocates and medical professionals can be mighty intimidating at first.. however remembering that we are ALL advocates and we're there for the same thing helped calm my nerves.
We all want change, we need it.
As long as we all work together, #ActWithLove and remain focused on a better life for us all I know we'll get there.
There were SO many good, no AMAZING studies being done behind the scenes and I'm fueled with hope for the future.
I am absolutely blown away by what's being done and how we can all come together to help push the needle for a better life we all deserve 🎀

Becoming more physically active has shown that there's a significant risk of reducing several types of cancer.
In a recent study though, there's more indication that a combination of aerobic and strength training may provide an even greater reduction! 💪
Strength training involves the performance of physical activities that are designed to improve both strength & endurance.
Although many people associate this type of training with lifting weights, bodyweight exercises, isometrics and plyometrics are all still a variety of strength training techniques!
Remember to engage in any type of physical activity with plenty of water, stretch before and after, and as always, make sure you're staying safe 💋
