When I was diagnosed, I pictured my life going one way... and then everything changed in an instant 💔
Five years ago, I walked into treatment during COVID believing I’d power through… but what I didn’t anticipate was the loneliness.
When I was diagnosed, the world was shutting down. COVID had already taken away so many things… and suddenly, it took away connection too.
No visitors in the waiting room with me.
No hand to hold as I watched poison drip into my arm.
No hugs waking up from surgery.
Just me, a mask, and the sound of my own breathing trying to keep me calm 😔
And here’s the truth I don’t talk about enough… some of that loneliness still lingers.
Because survivorship has its own quiet moments, the kind no one warns you about.
The moments where you wonder who you are now.
The moments where you grieve the life you thought you’d be living 🎀
Rebuilding your life after diagnosis can feel just as isolating as the day you heard the words “you have cancer.”
We heal in community, not in silence. Together, we make sure none of us walk this path alone. 💕
This is why Foob Friday was born ✨
A place where no survivor feels alone in their story.
A space where we see each other, really see each other...in all the messy, beautiful, complicated pieces of what comes after cancer.
If you’ve ever wanted to share your story, whether you whisper it or shout it… I’d be honored to feature you.
Your story matters. You matter. 🫂
Someone out there needs to hear what only you can say.
