“I am not this hair” is what I wrote. Behind my forced smile I felt completely terrified and unsure of my future. . This video from early 2017, is just a few weeks after I had major surgery to remove a tumor, a port-a-cath surgically implanted and started harsh chemotherapy. My hair was literally falling off my scalp and it had to go. . Am I going to die? How much longer will I live? Will I be able to muster the necessary courage and bravery to fight? . Since this day, I continue to face uncertainty and mortality head on. Been there done that...I’ve completed every type of cancer treatment and scans imaginable (except bone marrow transplant). . Today, I am extremely grateful to be alive with or without hair. What I have learned is: SUPPORT is everything!! We all need cheerleaders 📣 when times are tough but especially when you’re fighting for your life. . Today marks ☝🏼year anniversary of @tammystotesofhope deliveries to 2️⃣ different cancer hospitals. 🎉 . Thank you 👏🏼to everyone involved assisting my dream of providing ✨enCOURAGment✨ to cancer patients a reality through your donations, time and colabriating with artisans, friends and family. . I am in the process of assembling 1️⃣0️⃣ more ✨Tammy’s Totes of Hope✨ to make 💯 deliveries to people going through cancer treatments while in the hospital. . (Special gratitude to @honorzone for always keeping me positive. 💝 That’s her voice “cheering” me on as my loving husband shaved my head.) _______________________________________________________ www.tammystotesofhope.org 👈🏼 to donate and learn the subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer. _______________________________________________________ #tammystotesofhope #cancer #chemotherapy #ovariancancer #breastcancer #oncology #radiationtherapy #hope #support #warrior #survivor #thriver #caregiver #prostatecancer #pancreaticcancer #enCOURAGEment #youarenotalone #charity #philanthropy #brave #metastatic #remainpositive #lifeisagift #empathy #missionofmysoul #uncertainty #shakinginmyboots #inspireothers #teal #overcome Source @tammystotesofhope #thetealsociety https://www.instagram.com/p/B0mhyTmgJ4U/?igshid=1qh5jrr15pth0

🎓College GRADUATE and Cancer SURVIVOR ! “She was unstoppable. Not because she didn’t have failures or doubts. But because she continued on despite them.” What a journey it’s been... laying in the hospital a few years ago I never would have imagined that I would finish school in 5 years, let alone be in the best mental and physical shape of my life. I can’t thank my family and friends enough for supporting me. I’ve come a long way but the journey is far from over. #TMC... . . . . . . . . . . . . #csuf #calstatefullerton #csufgrad #classof2019 #graduation #bachelors #bachelorsinscience #college #collegegraduate #kinesiology #strengthandconditioning #cancer #ovariancancer #survivor #cancersurvivor #blackgirlmagic Source @marleegrosher https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu9XbfgsdY/?igshid=1bvh075ewc6pl

Horizons Student Enrichment program asked to interview me as an alumni and former teacher. I struggled to decide whether to wear a wig (to look like “myself”) or to wear the head wrap to embrace where I am now. I decided ... they are BOTH me. Bald or 24” of curly hair. 💙 I often assume everyone is staring at my bald head, scars, or lack of eyebrows. 😞 But the people who love me always remind me that THEY STILL SEE ME. ♥️ Unconditional love is simply amazing. It was an honor to share my passion for advocating for children and now for Ovarian Cancer. 🦋 God can change your purpose ... even if you THOUGHT you had it figured out. Thank you @memonroe1 for styling me last minute. The popped collar, teal dress, and pocket square was a hit with the photographer. 👗 • • • • #iHadCancer #IHaveCancerAGAIN #PrayForMe 🙏🏾 #GodIsGood #Faith #Hope #HappilyLiving #recurrent #doublediagnosis #ovariancancer #ovariancancerawareness #fuckcancer #fcancer #cancer #cancersucks #chemosucks #tealtuesday #TealTuesdayTestimony #tealisthedeal #FightLikeCourage #DeltaSigmaTheta #ΔΣΘ #AOML #nocc #TealTuesdayTestimony #scanxiety #TealTuesdayTip #ovariancancersurvivor #TheBaldGirl #blackgirlswithcancer #LivingLavone Source @livinglavone #thetealsociety https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw1aknVABK1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17kiufn9iofvn

[🙏🏻] . . Les résultats de scan sont tombés... Fin de l’apnée (pour 4 mois tout du moins). Le nodule détecté l’an dernier n’apparaît plus. Allez salut, see you never, amas de cellules non identifié. . . Toujours pas de retrait de PAC en vue mais bon, on cohabite sans encombres alors ça me va. . . Une oncologue au top qui a su être à l’écoute et me rassurer/m’informer sur la maladie. . .

1 in 3 women don’t attend cervical screening due to embarassment about body shape. This unnecessary importance we put on the appearance of our bodies needs to change!
