Did my best to tell my cancer story. Recently found out my cancer is back after being diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer 5 years ago. Never thought I would get it back and especially this soon. I never do talking videos and I’m certainly not a doctor. I hope this helps someone and let me know if your have any questions. Also, let me know if you would like me to continue these updates.

PS if you listen at 1.5 speed, you get through it much faster I do this with all talking videos
