"If I had not been as strong an advocate as I was for myself, I don’t know when I would have received treatment. Pay attention to your body and don’t let anyone else dismiss it. Learn how to speak so others will listen."

"I didn’t do my usual thing where I blasted my fave tunes and rocked out. I listened to the hum of my dryer with my kids' clothing in it and thought about how if I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I would be reveling in that sound. I painted bold, happy colours, but there is discomfort in the piece, and that is intentional."
