Power Over Pink

Fear shows up in ways we don’t expect.

I’ve seen fear in patients sitting across from me.
I’ve felt it myself…a bleak diagnosis that truly feels like the end of the world.
I’ve felt it in loss too. The uncertainty of not knowing what comes next.

What we need to realize is that fear will attempt to take over. It tries to lead our thoughts, our decisions, and our outlook on everything.

And in those moments, we have a choice…let fear steer, or remember what’s true.

This Psalm is a reminder. The Lord hears us. He answers. And he delivers.

If fear feels loud right now…come back to this verse.

While at the Young Survival Coalition conference in New Orleans last weekend I found several pharmaceutical companies heading off some interesting studies and clinical trials & new medication options. One stood out to me so I want to share what I learned.

Did you know that nearly 1 out of 2 people with ER+/Her2- Metastatic breast cancer may develop an ESR1 Mutation after progression on hormone therapy.

ESR1 Mutations are most likely to be found when:
*Your Metastatic Breast Cancer has progressed on hormone therapy (spread, grown, or gotten worse)
*your current hormone therapy is no longer working
*you have taken a hormone therapy for a YEAR or more
*You have taken multiple hormone therapies

ESR1 Mutations may cause your cancer to spread faster. Develop after taking certain hormone therapies. Make metastatic breast cancer more difficult to treat.

Hormone therapies have served as the foundation of treatment for people with Advanced or metastatic breast cancer for more than two decades.
Hormone therapies help to block estrogen from getting to Estrogen receptors (ERs) in ER+ breast cancer cells. Without Estrogen, the cancer cells may not grow, or they may grow more slowly.

Cancer tries to get around treatments by mutating. This may be whey cancer may progress.
A blood test detects ESR1 mutations and can be done as part of routine blood work. Request a blood test for ESR1 mutations before starting your next treatment.

We just got home from the most incredible weekend in New Orleans. The Young Survivor Coalition, YSC, showed off with the best exhibitors speakers, and activities for all attendees. The connections, education, friendships, joy, survivorship, sisterhood, Breasties coming together was nothing short of glorious!
Hearing from the phenomenal speakers has really sparked my love for science and sharing things that I have learned in Breast Cancer Research. In the coming days, I will share some of the things that I learned from the YSC event. Hoping to inspire you to be your own advocate, always, but to always continue learning! The health community is changing rapidly with the use of AI technology and doctors willing to be brave enough to change the status quo. It gives me hope for those being diagnosed so young to have better answers and a better journey than I did. 

If you don’t know what YSC is, it is the young survivors coalition. It is a global coalition. For anyone under the age of 41 who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. You’ve heard me say it before and I will say it till I’m blue in the face that the age of Breast Cancer has and is changing! The amount of young women being diagnosed is younger and younger!! Most being treated without consideration for family planning first is astounding. Things have got to change in the health community and the conversations start here. With you and me. I was diagnosed at 41, but my initial pre-cancer journey started when I was 32. I have been in perimenopause since I had my son at 25.

Too young for breast cancer? I wasn’t. Know the facts. Speak the truth.

Myself, Marcella, and Heather are all your local YSC support group leaders. And we want to build a community for you! Reach out to learn more.

Breast cancer impacts more than just your health—it takes a toll on your mental, physical, emotional, and financial well-being. The Northwest Florida Health Council is now accepting applications to support local women undergoing treatment or recovery from breast cancer. They offer access to funds that can be used for a variety of essential needs. The organization is dedicated and compassionate, and the application process simple. 🩷

Today's I Pink I Can Run event was truly exceptional, with ideal weather conditions, enthusiastic spectators, and an enjoyable atmosphere. All proceeds benefited The Keeping A Breast Foundation, a remarkable local nonprofit organization worthy of support. I highly recommend participating in this event if you haven't already. It was a fantastic experience shared with my mother and fellow participants! We were cheering with enthusiasm and pompoms at the finish line. Proud to be a YaYa!

You feel stuck.
But stuck and planted look similar from the inside.
There are seasons in faith that feel fiery and forward.
And there are seasons that feel like mud — slow, unclear, heavy.
Mud seasons grow deep roots. Don't get stuck there keep fighting and keep growing
