#116 Courtney, You Have Stage 4 Cancer!

<p>Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I share my journey starting from the first time I heard the words skin cancer, all the way through to today. This was a very difficult episode to record, but I felt it was extremely important. 1, because it shows how I became the person I am today. 2, it helps bring awareness to melanoma, and 3, because sharing my story might help someone else not feel so alone. Cancer touches so many lives and sadly my story is not unique. Please share today's episode with your loved ones because I don't want my story to become yours!</p><p><strong>🎙️Breakdown of EP #116</strong></p><ul> <li>Update on my week</li> <li>Why I decided to talk about this story now</li> <li>The frame of mind I am currently in </li> <li>The first time I heard the words skin cancer </li> <li>Having a family member pass away from skin cancer</li> <li>My first diagnosis - Level 4 Melanoma </li> <li>How I felt after finding out I had cancer </li> <li>The process of the surgery </li> <li>How proactive I have been over the years </li> <li>My second diagnosis </li> <li>What it's like finding out you might die</li> <li>Fertility treatment </li> <li>Immunotherapy </li> <li>My latest results</li> </ul><p><br></p><p>🎶 Fire Starter of the Week |<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/64Tp4KN5U5rtqrasP5a7FH?si=p6UcXDB8SJOuSFufL6b1xg"> </a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1nInOsHbtotAmEOQhtvnzP?si=0rgBpLZgQg2Wvo4DCW9CYA">Stronger (what doesn't kill you) by Kelly Clarkson</a></p><p>🔥 Quote of the Week | <br><strong><em>"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have."</em></strong></p><p><strong><em> <br>"She conquered her demons and wears her scars like wings."
