In November of 2019, Connie White bought a pair of maternity tights by accident--she wasn't actually pregnant. In trying them on though, she fell down the rabbit hole of tests, cancer diagnosis and treatment. What's worse, most of her journey with ovarian, uterine, and falopian cancer took place in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic.
To get through this journey emotionally intact, she drew three lines in the sand:
- She was not going to get nauseous during treatment--that was just not going to happen.
- She was not going to listen to statistics--she was going to beat this.
- For those who reached out, she asked whether they're here to be nice, or want a deeper relationship--both approaches were welcomed, but the knowledge helped protect her in vulnerable moments.
How she came to these lines, and how she follows them still--and how she gets to wear dinosaur tape (!)--make for quite a compelling journey.
