During the height of my entrepreneurial success I was diagnosed with a rare cancer.
I took a 6 month leave of absence to focus on my health and wellness.
I received treatment from the amazing team at City of Hope in Duarte, California.
That was 10 years ago and I’m now cancer free.
I’d like to take this moment to recognize and thank the great staff at the City of Hope who dedicate their lives treating and curing cancer, including:
♡ @DoryBenford who interviewed me for this beautiful article. Dory perfectly captured my spirit through her creative writing.
♡ Dr. Vijay Trisal, oncologist extraordinaire, who deserves credit for annihilating the Sarcoma growing in my chest.
♡ Dr. Mark Tan, a thoughtfully brilliant plastic surgeon, who meticulously put me back together. I have a beautiful scar on my chest I display proudly because of him.
♡ Every nurse who helped me after surgery.
♡ Lastly, I’d like to thank the harp player in the City of Hope hallway who beckoned me to get out of the hospital bed to start my healing journey. You are indeed a walking angel.
