🌟 Spotlight Episode: Anne’s Story 🌟

This week on Let’s Talk Fng Cancer*, we spotlight Anne — a triple positive breast cancer survivor with an incredible story of strength and healing.

Anne began her treatment right at the start of COVID, enduring her diagnosis during one of the most isolating times imaginable. After completing treatment, she faced another life-altering challenge: a divorce.

Through it all, Anne found her path forward. She embraced therapy, focused on her health, and — during recovery — discovered the sport of curling, which gave her both joy and community. Today, she’s standing stronger than ever, with a powerful message about resilience and rebuilding life after cancer.

Her journey shows us that survivorship is about more than getting through treatment — it’s about finding new strength, purpose, and connection. 💪✨

In this powerful episode of Let’s Talk Fng Cancer*, Colette and Julia sit down with Karen, who was diagnosed in April 2024 with lymphoma of the brain. What followed was months of intensive chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant at Stanford, and the battle of a lifetime.

Karen courageously shares her journey — from the frightening first symptoms to the shock of diagnosis, the grueling treatment process, and ultimately celebrating her one-year remission anniversary. She opens up about:

• How her diagnosis was discovered after unusual tremors led to an MRI
• The impact of treatment on her independence, daily life, and family
• Her visualization techniques during chemo that gave her strength and hope
• The importance of her medical team, her grandchildren, and her work “babies” in keeping her fighting spirit alive
• The emotional shift of going from “cancer patient” to reclaiming her life after treatment

Karen’s story is one of resilience, gratitude, and the power of never giving up.

🎧 Tune in for this inspiring conversation — and a reminder to celebrate every milestone, no matter how small.

This week on Let’s Talk Fng Cancer*, we sit down with Tammy — a Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer survivor — who opens up about the real life of survivorship.

She shares the raw truth most people don’t talk about:

⚡ Neuropathy that doesn’t go away

🌫 Brain fog that lingers

💔 Loss of strength, independence, and at times, autonomy

Tammy’s story is one of resilience, honesty, and shining light on the side of cancer that continues long after the last treatment.
