6 years ago today my life changed forever!🎀

Being diagnosed with breast cancer at 27 was the most life shattering news & ultimately changed the course of my life!

I could never have imagined the enormous mountains that lay ahead, the months of treatment, the multiple surgeries, scans & appointments, the years of injections, side effects & challenges!

The hardest part was building my life again post treatment. Figuring out who I am, altering all the plans I’d had for my life, accepting that my life would never be the same, not allowing fear to rob me of my joy, accepting my new reality & ultimately surrendering to God’s plan for me & His unfailing love for me!

I spent so long putting on a brave face, being strong & positive that in so many ways I never allowed myself the freedom to truly grieve the life I lost.

I’m finding that now, 6 years later, on our journey to finally starting our family, that all these feelings are resurfacing because life looks so different to how I’d always dreamt it would. In many ways better but in many ways harder & heavier.

So today I’m giving myself the space to grieve!

Cancer took so much from me & my family! It stole a part of me that I’ll never get back. BUT GOD!

In my grief I cling to my faith & the knowledge that God doesn’t promise that we won’t face trials, in fact He promises that we will. But that through the trials of life He will be with us, He will shape us & ultimately His plans for us will prevail!🙏🏻

And it’s in this that I find my hope for my future!🙌🏻

I’m so grateful it’s not 2020 & that I’m cancer free, healthy & strong!

2020 Amby would be super proud of how hard I’ve fought to get to this place 🩷💪🏻💖
