Life has taken me on many adventures, but none has reshaped my path quite like my diagnosis of primary triple negative breast cancer. In just a couple of weeks, I will begin chemotherapy and immunotherapy—a journey I never expected, but one I am facing with the strength I’ve found in my incredible support system. From the expertise of my medical team to the unwavering encouragement of those closest to me, I’m reminded daily that I am not walking this path alone.
I’ve always loved discovery—new places, experiences, and perspectives—and that part of me remains. Cancer may have slowed my pace, but it has not diminished my passion for living fully. Now, alongside treatment, I’m also exploring cancer-friendly hotels and spas within the UK, seeking places that offer comfort, rest, and moments of calm during what is both a challenging and transformative time.
This chapter is about learning to adjust with grace, embracing the power of community, and finding light in unexpected places. I am not defined by a diagnosis—I am still me: curious, hopeful, and committed to discovering joy, even as my journey takes a new and unplanned direction.
