October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Elizabeth's Breast Cancer story is different from many others. At diagnosis, she was: young (age 34), healthy and fit, and there was no family history of the disease. Her experience is also unique because she was pregnant!
Courageously, she and her unborn son underwent surgery and chemo to fight the deadly cancer. Now, after 24 years, they have both defied doctor’s predictions and are vibrant and healthy. Elizabeth credits a holistic medical approach to her longevity.
Elizabeth will be at the following events, sharing her story, offering inspiration for those in times of struggle and connection, whatever your going though, however different our stories, you are not alone.
