My name is Megan and I am 31 years old. On September 12th of 2024, I was diagnosed with Stage 3c Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. It was on that day that my life would be forever impacted. I was in complete and utter shock and devastation. One of the first things I thought about was losing my hair, eye brows, and eye lashes, as they are a part of my identity. I feared that cancer was going to take so much from me.

After some time to process, I realized that there is so much that my cancer can’t take from me! It may take the hair off of my head, but I am going to be making a wig out of it so it can never be truly taken away from me. My cancer also can’t take away the wonderful man in my life or my 2 dogs that I adore with my full heart. It also can’t take away all the love and support from my family and friends. With all these things, I am rich. 

My cancer may rock my world for a while, but it will never take away my truest blessings in this life time. And for that, I am forever grateful.
