“This is the side of treatment that women are left to figure out alone.”
A Re-Femme journal dedicated to reimagining what a cancer diagnosis can look like - one of hope, beauty, and complete support. Through stories, expert insights, and wellness inspiration, we explore what it means to heal - body, mind, and spirit.
“This is the side of treatment that women are left to figure out alone.”
“You shouldn’t have to Google your confidence back.”
“Ask for help. Let people show up for you. You don’t have to do this alone.”
“No one warns you that surviving cancer comes with a second diagnosis — learning how to live inside a body that suddenly feels unfamiliar. This is the roadmap I wish someone had given me when the meds became harder than the treatment.”
“When doctors said it was my choice, I didn’t feel empowered — I felt alone. This is what I learned about radiation, reconstruction, and trusting myself.”
“The world thought I was ‘better.’ I was still trying to figure out how to live inside a body that had been through a war.”
“This decision isn’t medical. It’s personal.”
“The first shower with drains doesn’t have to be scary — it just needs the right kind of support.”
“Connection becomes care the moment one woman reaches another.”
“Before I could fight cancer, I had to grieve the life I thought I was living.”
