Finding a New Normal

Finding a New Normal

As I sit back and reflect on the past 3 years since being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, I realize that it is the first time that I feel like my old self pre-cancer.  Looking back, everything seemed so blurry–I was in survival mode and trying to stay ahead of what needed to be done just to stay alive and healthy.  I am the kind of person that always looks forward to what’s to come; I needed to know there would be a time where I could breathe and feel “normal” again.  As I was trying to find my new “normal,” I was fortunate to find Sharsheret through a recommendation in one of the Facebook groups I joined.  As I was still navigating my diagnosis, I reached out and was put in touch with Bonnie Beckoff.  We immediately clicked–she asked all the right questions, and I loved her positive attitude.  I live my life on a daily basis with a positive outlook, so I needed to connect with someone like that. She always takes the time to check in and ask if there’s anything she can do to be supportive.  I love all the different resources Sharsheret offers–from painting classes to makeup tutorials–it’s the little things that make such a huge difference in my everyday struggle.
