More Great Products!
It’s been a while since I caught up to date on some more of my recommended products for my breasties here that I have added into my routine. I thought of this as I did a reorder today. More details can be found on my Linktree Japanese Knotweed Tincture – As shared by Chris from…

Uterus Free
I decided to wait for some time to provide an update on my hysterectomy so that I could provide details on the recovery path. Today is Day 12 of my recovery and I am so grateful that this is done! I am struggling with not being able to lift or exercise, but I am sure…

Trauma Triggers
I got the message last night from a friend that I always dread. “Hey Tiff, how did you handle the mental aspect of waiting on biopsy results”. My heart sank. This is my 6th friend/family member who has been diagnosed since my diagnosis. As much as you feel you have moved on past the bell…

The Gift of Time
This week was my birthday. I am not sure how to even explain how I felt this year. A birthday after cancer carries both a weight and beauty that’s hard to put into words. It’s no longer just cake and candles, but about honoring another year that wasn’t guaranteed. I used to feel like having…

Metabolic Check In
It’s been an eventful week here. I had my oncology follow-up earlier in the week, which any cancer patient knows can be nerve racking. Coming into end of week, I had made my first podcast appearance to talk about my journey. More news to come when that hits the air!

Small Hopes
My posts have been a bit slower recently. Some of this is my attempt to get back to some sense of normalcy. Some of it is being back to work. The last weeks however, I have watched a close friend pass through their final weeks before this horrible disease took their precious life. Although Stage…
