#MyBraveStory

What does being #BraveLikeChristine mean to you?

β€œAfter a diagnosis, cancer is always in the room with you. For me, specifically, having a stage 4 diagnosis means I will be on treatment for the rest of my life. I feel that being brave means setting distant goals and planning for a life with the full intent of living it out. Being brave means being there for those around me. It means being an advocate for others and helping to prepare future generations for a brilliant life full of joy, empathy, and leadership. It means living my life to the fullest.”
