Welcome to the Grace Grit and Pink Ribbons Blog — a space for honest stories, reflections, and resources on life after breast cancer.
Here, I share experiences of breast cancer survivorship, navigating hormone therapy, rebuilding life after treatment, and finding hope in the everyday.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, walking through treatment, or stepping into survivorship, these stories and resources are here to remind you: you’re not alone.
Beyond the Pink: Life After Breast Cancer and the Ongoing Journey
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but for me, it’s more than pink ribbons. Life after breast cancer is an ongoing journey — one filled with ups and downs, new normals that don’t always feel normal, and the quiet fear of recurrence that lingers long after treatment ends.
Survivorship is complicated, messy, and real. Cancer doesn’t always stop you, but it does change you — and sometimes, it even pushes you forward.
