ONE IN EIGHT

JANUARY 2020 || There, I said it. Truth is I’ve been dealing with this the past 2 months. I go to work, it’s still there. Going to Disneyland three times this year hasn’t changed a thing. The diagnosis of breast cancer may haunt me but it doesn’t define me either. I’m still “Jaide” (or Jasmine to others.) I’m still struggling through life with the same stressors like everyone else. Cancer sometimes enhances those situations other times those first world problems are pushed to the bottom of the "stress list." I’m still Edwin’s wife, Mama to my three As. Big sister. Nurse midwife. I still have stuff to get done, a life to live and relationships to experience. I just happen to be living with breast cancer. Follow me here to get the latest on my journey from diagnosis to treatment. I promise to be transparent.
