At 30 years old, Mallory never imagined facing a battle as daunting as stage 2 breast cancer. She is an ambitious woman focused on building her career and dreaming about the future when the diagnosis created a speed bump in her world. The whirlwind of doctor appointments, biopsies, and treatment plans left her reeling, but she refused to let fear define her journey, especially since her Mom created a binder to keep her organized! Going through chemotherapy and surgery looming ahead, she leaned on her support system—family, friends, and a tight-knit community of survivors who understood her struggle. There are days when exhaustion and uncertainty weigh heavily on her, but she finds strength in the small victories: a good day without nausea or a headache, a heartfelt conversation, or buying a new wig on Amazon. Through it all, she clung to hope, determined to emerge from this fight not just as a survivor, but as a woman who had reclaimed her life on her terms.
