It’s time for the rebuild.

Life is turning a corner and I’m stepping into a new chapter. The last year demanded survival, patience, and more resilience than I ever expected. Even in remission, the journey doesn’t completely disappear. There are still appointments, blood work, and reminders of everything that happened.

But progress is happening.

I’ve spent time rebuilding my endurance through cycling and cardio, and now it’s time to get stronger again. The mission is simple. Build back the strength. Reclaim the body. Keep moving forward one day at a time.

We are getting better every single day.

Today’s work was about showing up with discipline and moving the needle forward. Strength is built in these moments where the weight is heavy, the focus is sharp, and the goal is simply to execute the work in front of you.

Main lifts today
Squat: 264.5 × 5
Bench: 143.3 × 5
Deadlift: 308.6 × 5

Accessories finished the job with leg press, chest press, rows, rear delts, and hamstring work to keep the whole system strong and balanced. The goal is not just lifting heavy. It is building a body that stays resilient, powerful, and ready for the long game.

Every session is another step forward. Keep stacking them.

The real competition was never the person next to you. It is the person you were yesterday. Growth happens when you decide to show up again, push a little further, and refuse to stay where you started. Keep raising your own standard.

This morning felt bigger than a dissertation. It carried every moment I wondered if I would even be here. Four years of work, sleepless nights, uncertainty, and a fight far beyond academia. I defended my dissertation after beating cancer, surviving sepsis, and recovering from a blood clot in my lung. The degree is earned, but the resilience was forged long before today. If you are walking through something heavy, let this be your reminder that obstacles do not get the final word. Keep believing. Keep going. Your breakthrough can still be ahead of you.

You don’t rebuild strength once. Sometimes you rebuild it again and again. My fourth surgery is scheduled, which means another reset, another climb, another season of starting from zero. It’s frustrating at times, but cancer already taught me something permanent. I know how to begin again. I know how to fight for progress when it feels slow. I know that strength is not erased, it is relearned. So I will keep showing up, one lift, one step, one day at a time.

YSC 2026 + NOLA did not disappoint!! Can’t wait to go to another event like this!!!

So grateful to be in New Orleans for the YSC Think Tank, surrounded by brilliant clinicians, scientists, and advocates who are all working toward a stronger future for young cancer survivors. Spaces like this remind me why I do this work. The mission is bigger than any one of us, and I’m honored to help move it forward.
