3 year cancerversary 🎀

Posted byKelly MorinPosted inUncategorized

On April 16th, 2018 I heard the words “its breast cancer”. My entire world crumbled and within days my body went to war with this horrible disease. Chemo infusions, a double mastectomy, fat grafting, radiation, removal of my ovaries, menopause, medications, being poked and prodded a million times. I never thought I would have to fight for my life at such a young age. I was only 31 at the time with an 8 month old and 2 1/2 year old. I was terrified. I had a lot of fear and anxiety that my babies would grow up without a Mom. These thoughts were so debilitating at times and took over my every thought. I learned quickly that this journey wasn’t only going to by physical but mental. 3 years later the pain, anxiety and fears have slowly faded and my happiness shines a little more each day ☀️…but it took time, patience and being kind to myself to get here. I learned that it’s OK to not be OK. Its ok to ask for help. It’s ok to heal at my own pace. Life after cancer can be really tough, but it can also be incredibly beautiful. I am so blessed for each day that goes by being cancer free and being able to spend it with my kids, husband and people I love.

I am so grateful to be alive 💖

  1. Kelly,
    You’re determination, strength, faith and love is like no other. What you have gone through is something that no one should have to go through but you did it with style!! Who else while fighting this fight would go do ballet, go wakeboarding and continually challenge yourself above and beyond?
    CONGRATULATIONS on ALL of your successes!! We love you!

  2. Darn it ! You made me cry! It is incredible what you have been through. I have to say you handled it perfectly! Upbeat Positive, Independent, Strong, just to name a few , What I admire most of all is that you were raising two toddlers thru all of this mess. I am so happy for you! You deserve all the happiness you can get.
    I know you got tons of help
    from your family, but you fought the fight. Well done!!!! Well done!!!!
    Love ,
