My Crash Course Through Breast Cancer

Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, dog mom, amateur gardener, and I provide realtime captioning for people who need it - deaf, hard of hearing, non-English speakers, drunk people in bars who want to know what their favorite sportsball announcer is saying, millenials - anyone.

I might be a millenial? Depends on which article you read.

I’m also under 40 and have breast cancer. Although this part of my life does not define me, it is affecting all the other parts that I truly care about. I am having to learn a lot very quickly and am hoping to help others by writing about my crash course while also keeping the people who care about me up to date on what’s going on in my life without Facebook telling me that five years ago I had a stereotactic biopsy.
