Living with an Incurable Diagnosis: The Weight of the Unspoken
It’s the weight of forever uncertain; learning to plan for tomorrow while knowing it’s never promised.
It’s the silent grief for the life you thought you’d have — the milestones you might miss — even as you keep fighting to make more memories.
It’s smiling when people call you strong, even on days when strength feels like a mask.
It’s looking in the mirror and missing the “before” version of you: carefree, unscarred, untouched by this kind of fear.
It’s noticing how every laugh, every hug, every sunset feels heavier with meaning.
Living with incurable cancer isn’t just about fighting this disease; it’s about carrying emotions most people never have to name.
And yet, there’s still beauty here. There’s still hope here.
Even on the hardest days, life keeps whispering: you are still here, and that is everything.
Honoring My Body’s Story
My body has changed in ways I never expected.
Every scar, every mark, every ache tells a story — not of loss, but of survival.
I’m learning to thank my body for carrying me through what tried to break me, to rest without guilt, and to see beauty in resilience.
She’s not broken — she’s becoming.
The Meaning of My Scars
My scars used to make me flinch. Now they make me pause.
Each one tells a story of what my body has survived — what it’s still fighting for.
They remind me I’ve been broken open and rebuilt stronger.
They’ve changed how I see beauty, and it’s not in perfection anymore.
It’s in proof.
Proof that I’m still here.
Holding Onto Who I Am Beyond Cancer
Cancer changed my body, my routines, my plans — but it didn’t take me.
I still laugh too loud. I still love fiercely. I still dance in the kitchen when my favorite song plays.
My spirit lives in the way I show up for my kids, in the words I write, in the hope I refuse to let go of.
This diagnosis is part of my story, but it’s not my identity.
I’m still Bre. I’m still here.
Redefining Beauty and Becoming
Today, beauty looks different.
It’s not in makeup or mirrors — it’s in the way I keep showing up.
It’s in the strength behind my smile and the way I still find light after everything.
That’s the woman I’m becoming — softer, stronger, still shining.
