What has helped you to thrive?

Blogging my journey has been my own therapy. I hope you find some comfort in it if your are on this rollercoaster ride with me. I hope my friends and family find comfort in this and understand to how I am feeling.

Sarah's Story

I'm a hard working 30'ing year old with everything I could ask for but August 2017 there was a slight detour, I went "off roading." I was diagnosed with breast cancer. A young fit and healthy 33 year old, with no family history, my life changed in that moment. I will use my blog page to share my journey, but I will not become defined by this, it of course is going to be a huge part of my life for the next months to come, but I’m still that same young woman who loves life.
