Meet Sana, December’s SMOV Survivor

I’m the nipple-less, breast-less, hair-less Mermaid. Every day during my painful chemotherapy I would pretend that I was magically transforming into a beautiful mermaid with superpowers. Mermaids represent strength and courage and have been my favorite mythical creatures since I was young. I would tell everyone that I’m 99% mermaid and 1% human after each chemo and surgery. I have no fear of the ocean but I have a great fear of cancer, aggressive chemo, surgeries, and medication, it makes me feel terrible and turned my world upside down. I now struggle with intense chemo brain, hot flashes, back pain, fatigue, insomnia, emotional pain, and depression. I felt bewildered as to why I got breast cancer when I was living my healthiest life (no alcohol, smoking, drugs, only ate a vegan diet, and worked out daily.)

I would be forever grateful to be transformed into a gorgeous mermaid in your Mermaids Journey Program. I want to reconnect to my amazing self. The self that I lost during my breast cancer battle. I want to feel empowered and rewarded for my hard work in fighting cancer and not giving up when my journey was very scary and lonely. I want to replace these awful memories with new meaningful ones and celebrate my bravery.

Thank you for considering me!
Sana
