Description
Jess was diagnosed at age 34 with stage 2 triple positive breast cancer. This was just two months after getting engaged. After going through two full years of treatment she was given the green light to try to have a baby, a life long dream of hers. In September of 2019, she was blessed with a baby boy. Jess says My life has had an entirely different meaning since our son joined our lives. Most days are filled with the distractions of being a mother and a wife but the fear of cancer is still a very real and consistent part of my every day life. I hope you enjoy Jess's story. Below are the links to the amazing non-profit she started called In This Together as well as information about Maine Cancer Foundation and Tri for a Cure.
