#ChallengeAccepted

#Challengeaccepted. Thank you to all the women who have invited me. I am touched and honored.
This challenge was initially created to raise awareness about the plight of women in Turkey stuck in quarantine with their abusers, the increase in female deaths there.
But of course, what's happening in Turkey is only a microcosm of what's happening to women globally--which is only escalated because of the pandemic
This picture was taken yesterday. I had to start a version of chemo yesterday called immunotherapy, because it was discovered that I now I am HER 2+ and no longer HER 2-. So, I have another year of this.
15 Years ago being HER 2+ would have been a death sentence. Much like being stuck in an abusive relationship.
But today, we have targeted therapies-- this one is a miracle drug called Herceptin. Much like my oils, I am BEYOND grateful for it. I have a longer life expectancy.
I pray we can continuing raising awareness and take action-- it took women 100 years to get the right to vote in the US-- it was a slow change, but that change could only be made by coming together, not tearing apart.
