A Little (big) Life Update
The events of the past few months were something that I never expected would happen to me, as most people think when it comes to life changing events that happen in a blink of an eye. In October I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, a type of breast cancer. I’m a fairly private person,…
