🚨IT’S WINSDAY🚨
Community is stronger than cancer.
Recently, I was able to participate in the American Cancer Society “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” Walk in San Diego.
I often participate in community service events and activities and this is one I try and support annually.
As an oncology nurse practitioner, I see just how devastating and life changing a cancer diagnosis can be.
Awareness, support, funding, research and access are all important factors in improving cancer rates and survival.
I was happy to walk alongside my sorority sisters of Zeta Phi Beta Sororiry, Incorporated. We even got to see the San Diego Padres Friar mascot!
This “Pink October” I stand in support of the many men and women impacted by breast cancer. I hope additional advances are on the horizon to save lives.
What community service events do you participate in? Any that you have heard of that you would like to support?
🏆 My win for the week🏆
Focusing on slowing down. In the busyness of life, I often feel myself speeding up and going from appointment to appointment and task to task. I check in with myself daily to see what my body needs. A part of this is slowing down. This allows me to be intentional in time and connections with family and loved ones. This allows me to enjoy the beauty that is all around me. This allows me to enjoy my life instead of rushing through it.
What wins are you celebrating this week?

1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer in their lifetime…
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide.
What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the breast tissue. More specifically, it can develop in the:
🌸 lobules (glands that create breast milk)
🌸 ducts (canals that connect lobules to the ni***es)
🌸 ni**le
🌸 fat and connective tissue
🌸 blood vessels and lymph vessels
Breast cancer can spread through the blood and lymphatic system which can result in breast cancer developing in distant parts of the body.
Breast cancer may present with any of these changes in the breast(s) or ni**le(s):
🌸 redness
🌸 lump in breast
🌸 swelling
🌸 lump in armpit
🌸 orange-peel texture
🌸 dimpling
🌸 discharge
🌸 pulling in
🌸 new inversion
🌸 ulcer
🌸 scaliness
Self breast exams can help individuals become familiar with their breast tissue and be more aware of concerning changes.
Mammogram is the gold standard screening exam for detection of breast cancer.
Treatment for breast cancer may include:
🌸 surgery
🌸 radiation
🌸 chemotherapy
🌸 hormonal therapy
🌸 targeted therapies
Early detection is key to allow for the best treatment options and outcomes possible.

🚨IT’S WINSDAY🚨
May the best team win 🏈 ….
This passed Sunday, I was able to enjoy the Washington Commanders vs. Los Angeles Chargers game with my husband.
As you can see, we root for different teams which made game time that much more fun.
The Chargers had a strong start but as the quarters went on, the Commanders took complete control of the game and ended up winning.
Yet another example that it is not always how you start that is important, but how you finish. Definitely applicable to sports, personal life and professional life.
Remember: don’t stop until the clock hits 00:00. Oh and it’s still .
What NFL team do you root for?
🏆 My win for the week🏆
Starting to plan trips for 2026! My husband and I are starting to pick dates and locations for vacation trips next year and I am super excited! Anyone else feel more energized and rejuvenating with planning vacations??
What wins are you celebrating this week?

Cheers to Bowel Prep! 🍻
Well….this not the type of beverage most of us would ideally want to consume, but it is one often needed prior to an important procedure.
Due to some GI symptoms I was having, I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy performed.
An Endoscopy or is a procedure where the esophagus, stomach and small intestine are visualized using a scope.
A colonoscopy is similar, but visualizes the large intestines and re**um.
In order to see the liking of the colon, typically one would need to be on a clear liquid diet the day before the procedure.
Also, a bowel prep is utilized to clear out the bowels so the scope can have clear visualization.
The bowel prep I took was a combination of Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate split into two 6 ounce bottles.
As you may expect, it is important to stay close to the bathroom once bowel prep has been started.
Colonoscopies are an important part of routine screening for colore**al cancer, which is the 3rd most common cancer worldwide.
Colonoscopies are not as scary as one may think and save lives! Please check with your primary care provider to see if a colonoscopy is recommended for your personalized care needs.
Attorneys: Do you have a case where a colonoscopy or another procedure played a role in your client’s case? Have questions on your case? Let’s chat!
Healthcare professionals: Have you had a colonoscopy before?

REMINDER: You are a star ⭐️.
Recently I went to Starbucks for my cup of morning joy. I realized the barista wrote a short but impactful message on my cup: You are a Star.

Cystoscopy: An inside view of the bladder.
A cystoscopy is a procedure that is used to diagnose problems or issues with the urethra or bladder.
During a cystoscopy, a thin scope with a camera is inserted through the urethra and allows an internal views of urinary structures.
A cystoscopy can be used to diagnose conditions such as
🟢 bladder or urethral cancer
🟢 bladder stones
🟢 urinary incontinence
🟢 enlarged prostate
🟢 urethra strictures
🟢 interstitial cystitis
🟢 and more!
If any suspicious areas are visualized during the cystoscopy, biopsies can be performed for further analysis.
As many of you may know, my father was diagnosed with bladder cancer over a year ago. He presented with symptoms and a follow up cystoscopy with biopsy is what confirmed his diagnosis. He now has cystoscopies at regular intervals to monitor how he is responding to treatment.
As an oncology nurse practitioner and now advocate for my father, I have become well versed in cystoscopies and reviewing pathology results.
Attorneys: do you have a case where a cystoscopy or another type of procedure to diagnose cancer played a role in your client’s case? Have questions on your case? Let’s chat!
Healthcare professionals: Have you heard of a cystoscopy before? What other oncology related questions do you have?

Summer sunsets are golden…
Living in San Diego, I am blessed to be able to be outdoors year round as the weather is nearly perfect.
During the summer the sun shines a bit different and the sunsets are so lovely to take in.
Watching a sunset recently reminded me of a famous quote…

“Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully.” - Kristen Butler
No matter what happens today, try to find some beauty in the day, whether it is a sunset, a bird chirping, time with your animals, etc.
What beauty did you see in yesterday or today?

Having my very first facial EVER! I decided to have a spa day and do my monthly 90 minute massage and added in a facial. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating. I event went home with a few new skin care products.
