A million things go through your head: What's next? Is surgery needed? Chemo (will there be hair loss)? Radiation? Am I going to die? What about my family-husband, kids, our finances? What do you do, or how do you even move forward?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith so many questions and uncertainty, the first thing that came to me was, I am going through this for a reason, and while I may not know right now, God knows. I told myself I am going to journal and document my every experience so I would be able to give my testimony to encourage and help others, giving them strength-mentally, emotionally, and\/or spiritually! I wasn't sure at the time, but I thought, just in case I decide to write about it, I decided to be very open about my journey and diagnosis. By doing so, it led me down pathways I wouldn't have journeyed on otherwise, and it led me to people whom I would help as they were beginning their journey through their cancer diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, you'll read about my personal journey as a breast cancer survivor; check out the listed resources that I was able to use to help us as well as pictures that document my life throughout this journey. I got firsthand experience in becoming my own navigator and health advocate-from finding doctors to surgery, post-op, and recovery! Just when I thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel, it got that much further away because my diagnosis would become worse before it got better, which completely changed my treatment plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach story of survivorship reveals a unique path through their journey, and as I continue on mine, I am here to bring you along for the ride in hopes that my story will help you in some way or lead you to be able to help someone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 16, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48293594300664,"sku":"9798897851416","price":25.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/4ZQIkZ4U0f9798897851416.webp?v=1777423834","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/stand-firm-a-breast-cancer-testimony-paperback","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
