Eve Profile

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


Elsie Symptoms

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.


Drew Biggest Fear
Ashanti Lifestyle

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


Sabina Medical Care

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.

Maria Side Effects

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.


Emma Lifestyle

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.


Aspiration Travel 1

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.


Clara Biggest Fear

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


Michi Emotions

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


Eve Words

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