I'm sorry, honey, it is breast cancer.

Every so often you meet someone that will change your perspective and this gorgeous woman did that for me. Please take a few moments to read through Jess’s journey.

No one ever wants to hear those words: I'm sorry, honey, it’s breast cancer.

I fell to my knees, crying so hard I couldn't stand. I called my other half on the phone outside because I didn't want our children to see me like this. He picked me up off the ground that day of July 14,2019! Wiped my tears away and said, we GOT THIS! In my head, I said, alright, time to kick into high gear and stay positive! I can't go into a downward spiral; what would be the benefit of that?

I was thrown into a world of complicated medical terms by myself because of covid-19. I had to fight this on my own at the hospitals. No one was allowed to be with me at any of the doctor appointments.

Then I realized that I wanted something for me because this body has carried me through so much pain, loss, accidents, and fights. To be honest, I always prided myself on my boobs because that's the way society made me feel. Not until the day you start losing your hair that you realize the beauty was always there. After having kids, all of us mothers out there know. Our bodies are not the same as they were in our 20's. So I had reached out to my sister, asking if she could do a sexy photoshoot for me? Her response was, Hell ya! Before I knew it, I was in an actual dressing room getting my make sprayed on. I was internally grateful for this day to spend with my two sisters. This was the most empowering thing I have ever done.

Was I nervous? Yes, of course, but what's worse than cancer? I got my second look at life, and boy, I'm not going to take it for granted anymore. It's too precious! This has helped me heal throughout my treatment. When I feel down or defeated, I sit with a cup of coffee, and I look through the pictures and say to myself: I am SAVAGE!
