Grateful to Rowan University for taking the time to talk with me about my story, how I've used writing to process all the ways cancer has impacted my life, and what young women (and men, for that matter!) should really be aware of beyond the ocean of pink ribbons during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Read the feature in Rowan Today: "A survivor’s story for Breast Cancer Awareness Month: be vigilant"

In spite of my best efforts to prevent Lymphedema, about 5 months after finishing radiation, my arm visibly swelled during a dance performance. I had already been seeing a physical therapist preventatively, but increased my visits and spent two weeks doing compression wrapping to attempt to reduce the swelling (which did help some, but isn't a cure). I now wear a compression sleeve all day, every day, and one at night as well.
Living Beyond Breast Cancer interviewed me about living with Lymphedema. As I'm still trying to emotionally come to grips with what this means for me, I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my story.
