Season of RAD
Hello, my name is Ashley.
I was diagnosed with Stage 2 PR+ invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) on April 1st, 2021. After two surgeries and sixteen rounds of chemo, I am officially cancer-free.
I do have quite a bit of additional treatment to go, including hormone therapy and radiation.
I joined the RAD program in July 2021.
I had heard of Barbells for Boobs before, but never really understood the mission until my introduction call with Z and Samantha. I remember their first comment was how beautiful I looked, and me being completely bald at the time, just wanting to cry.
Turns out RAD was everything I didn’t even know I needed.
My chats with Johnna and Keisha are filled with laughs, cries and encouragement. My new relationships with other RAD women fill my soul with joy.
It’s like I have this new family of hundreds of women, located all over the world, who understand what I’ve been through and what I will go through for the rest of my life. How freaking cool is that?
I’m so thankful for Barbells for Boobs and my RAD family.
I look forward to many more years of workouts, workshops, and soon in person meet-ups!
