About this listen

Hi, I'm Ginger. In 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer. It was of the purely mutinous type that hardly ever metastasizes. However, it happened to me. In January 2023, I sat down in a recliner and my rib snapped.

I am a mom of three children, a dance and baton twirling teacher, and the owner of a media LLC.

This podcast explores how I got here, and will then update in real-time as I navigate everything I must go through. As of the inception of this podcast, I am showing no evidence of disease. However, the treatment doesn't stop. It will continue for the rest of my life.

At first, I thought it could be nothing because I didn't have a family history of breast cancer, but the weight it put on me was overwhelming. It was difficult to find help, but I did. What happened from there was a whirlwind.
