One week before my 22nd birthday, I received a diagnosis that changed the direction of my life. Instead of navigating it quietly, I chose to document the experience in real time. From treatment to recovery to returning to life as a student, I’ve shared what it looks like to live fully in the middle of uncertainty.

What began as personal storytelling and documenting my daily life has grown into a community of young women facing similar realities. More young women are being diagnosed than ever before, and their experiences deserve visibility and advocacy.
