It might have taken a cancer diagnosis, but I've finally learned the importance of slowing down, being kinder and more forgiving with myself, and listening to my body.

I just completed nine out of twelve weekly chemo treatments that will make up my first round of cancer treatment, and I've been very lucky to only have two days where I've felt really bad. I know this is because of everything I've been doing to focus on my body, my health, and my mind.

So in today's update on finding the beauty in cancer I'm sharing what I've learned so far in this journey, some of the ways I'm choosing to approach treatment, and all the ways I'm working to take care of myself to give my body what it needs to fight this war.

Thank you all so much for being on this journey with me, and for all the thoughts, prayers, and messages.
