Hi! My name is michele and I am a 4-year Triple Negative Breast Cancer survivor. I am proud to be part of the TNBC foundation power of 3, TNBC day campaign for the second year in a row.

Today is March 3rd, which is Triple Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Day. It kicks off an entire month of education awareness and fundraising.

✨To learn more about our fundraising campaign and to donate, please go to @tnbcfoundation — 100% of donations from individuals goes to TNBC specific research. 🙌🏾

I’d like to share three things that helped me along my journey that I still use today…

💕Jot down any and all questions in between appointments. You may think you’ll remember but that question may swiftly exit stage left when you’re sitting in front of your Oncologist. Use a cute notebook or the Notes feature on your phone.

💕Got achy muscles and joints due to chemotherapy? Take a relaxing warm Epsom salt bath. Sensitive to fragrances? Reach for unscented bath salt. Light a candle and turn on some relaxing music. This still helps me as I manage my rickety menopause joints and sore muscles. 🙃

💕Allow yourself to FEEL all the feels. Processing and expressing your thoughts and emotions is so important in the healing process and overall. Suppressing them is unhealthy and only makes you feel overwhelmed. Cry if you need to cry, speak with your loved ones, and know that you can obtain a mental health therapist if needed. Take care of yourself.

Thank you to our sponsors for making the 2022 Power of 3 TNBC day campaign possible!
