I didn't sleep well last night. And that's because a fellow breast cancer survivor that I follow on instagram and her blog, posted a video yesterday saying she's had a relapse.
I found Nalie's blog when I was searching for hair growth videos after chemo, and she has a ton of different videos from her stage 2 cancer battle back in 2013, at only 25 years old. She is also a fellow Canadian from Montreal. Reading about her experience really helped me and inspired me.
I am devastated for her to now be told the cancer has metastasized to her lungs. It is shocking to me that this is even possible. She is a vibrant, beautiful, amazing 28 year old now, who from the outside appears so healthy and "normal."
How can this happen? Why does this happen to good people like her? I do not understand this universe some days. It is cruel and unfair.
She discovered it because she had a persistent cough for about 3 weeks, and finally went to the ER last week, got a chest X-ray and they said it looks like several cancer nodules in her lungs. They are starting her on chemo today, even before a biopsy confirms it.
I am praying that she can fight this. From what I have heard, metastasized breast cancer can't necessarily be cured. So I imagine this feels like a death sentence right now. It is absolutely terrifying to me.
Here is her post.
