A Steadfast Heart

I am compelled to share my story in real-time, as it unfolds. My journey with cancer will be chronicled across three volumes, each one capturing pivotal moments in my journey. Volume One begins on the day I was diagnosed with cancer. It will take you through every phase leading up to surgery.

This book is about more than just my experience. First, it is to inspire others to share their stories-there is power in vulnerability and connection. Second, it's to educate. Knowledge equips us to face life's challenges with confidence and resilience. Lastly, this book aims to demystify misconceptions surrounding cancer, with the hope of alleviating some of the fear, anxiety, and depression that often come with such a diagnosis.

Through these pages, I hope to spark a movement of awareness, strength, and courage for anyone walking this road. Below, you'll find a glimpse of the chapters within this volume, each representing a piece of my heart and soul as I navigate this life-altering journey.
