My journey is a testament to the power of hope, community, and the strength we find within ourselves. I may carry scars, but they tell a story of survival and determination. I'm a survivor, facing each day with a smile, grateful for the support that surrounds me.

In 2021, I faced a tough battle with advanced ovarian cancer. After a HIPEC surgery and several rounds of chemo, my journey continues, now tackling the challenges of lymphedema. It's a daily struggle, but my spirit remains unbroken.

Amidst my fight, I found purpose in volunteering with "Sangini Cancer Care Society". Together, we share stories, provide support, and create a community that understands the unique struggles of battling cancer.

The surgery left its mark, and chemotherapy tested my strength, but I've discovered resilience I never knew I had. Every day is a victory, whether it's savoring a good meal or sharing laughter with loved ones.

My journey is a testament to the power of hope, community, and the strength we find within ourselves. I may carry scars, but they tell a story of survival and determination. I'm a survivor, facing each day with a smile, grateful for the support that surrounds me.

Thank you, Mom, for teaching me to be honest, courteous, appreciative, and loving. Thank you for trying to teach me to be tidy, even though it didn't work. Thank you for teaching me to try to see the best in people.
