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.  Although Jess and I are not medical professionals, our goal is to let you, the listener, know what worked for us during and after treatment.  Remember, everyone's journey is different.  This is Jess's!   In This Together Maine Cancer Foundation Tri for a Cure Tips from Jess calendula salve- to help with skin irritation during radiation warm fuzzy blanket for treatment room Hydrate!  Walk/ slow jog during treatment- but listen to your body and don't overdue it! **Also, don't decide to become a runner during treatment =)
