What a difference a year makes!

One year ago, I was full of fear, anxiety, and worry as I tried to fall asleep the night before my first chemo session.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect or what my future would look like at this point.

After major surgery, dozens of tests, scans, appointments, six months of chemotherapy, and countless other doctor visits, tests, and procedures, I’m starting to make strides forward into survivorship!

Tonight — one year later — not only have I been able to return to serving my community and helping people, I attended our first 2022 Fire Department Competition Team meeting!

This season will be dedication to all affected by cancer!
