Hi there, I'm Eve, a mother of one currently facing breast cancer.

I discovered a lump in my breast, which led to my diagnosis.
Initially, I felt neutral about it all. I didn't seek a second opinion.


After the diagnosis, I focused on changing my diet to a healthier one at least 3 to 5 days a week.

I initially opted for chemotherapy and immunotherapy based on the doctor's recommendation. However, after further test results, I changed my treatment plan to mastectomy, lymphadenectomy and immunotherapy.
While I was discouraged and scared at first, changing my treatment plan made me feel slightly angry.

The treatment has brought side effects like diarrhea, fatigue, and hair loss, which I manage with prescribed medication. Unfortunately, I've faced financial difficulties due to being unable to work during treatment.

During treatment, I didn't make any further changes to my personal lifestyle. Now, I still contact and visit my parents just as often as before, but go on family trips more often.

For me and my family, I’ve planned a family holiday in the near future, while I plan to go back to work eventually. My biggest dream right now is to go on a holiday. Dreaming of it helps me to get better. For my loved ones, my biggest dream is to see them graduate.

My biggest fear throughout this journey has been death. I haven't overcome this fear yet.

Right now, I still feel mostly neutral, but at times I feel fearful, insecure and overwhelmed.

To those on their cancer journey, I'd say that every journey is unique.
