Julia’s Story
I am thankful for my mom’s health because it means I get more time to spend with the most amazing person in my life who has shaped me in so many ways.
My mom has been battling triple negative breast cancer since March 2025. I have watched her to go through countless hours of chemotherapy, tests, doctor’s appointments, daily shots, procedures, immunotherapy infusions, and surgery.
My mom faced chemo in her own unique way. Her beloved nurse, Vivian, confirmed that she is the only patient that has “dressed up” each week for the dreaded “red devil.” Instead of resisting chemo, my mom would count down the days until her next treatment. She called it her “chemo closing checklist” and for those of you who know my mom you know that closing checklists are her thing. She knew that chemo was the only thing that could give her more time with me, and she would have done anything for that.
Initially she didn’t tell me about her diagnosis to make sure my sweet 16 was actually “sweet” and so I wouldn’t lose focus on exams at the end of 10th grade. She kept a detailed journal of what she was going through and how afraid she was of not making it to my high school graduation or getting to see me grow up. This fear made a person who was already strong into superwoman.
I always knew my mom was special, but I could not believe the army of people she had behind her during this entire process. From our family, her friends, her colleagues at Holland & Knight who are like family, her clients, and the incredible care team at UM Sylvester, she had an endless amount of love and support. I was in awe of how important she was to so many others.
It is important to point out that my mom had a mammogram and ultrasound in December 2024 that was confirmed clear by three separate hospitals and by February 2025 she had a 2.2 cm tumor. Her cancer was extremely aggressive, but luckily, she caught it before it spread to other areas of her body. After 7 months of treatment, I am beyond grateful to say that my mom is cancer free. She was able to beat this disease by catching it early. She has to finish immunotherapy and has another surgery, but she is healthy, happy and determined to make sure she doesn’t have a recurrence. She is now teaching other cancer patients how to advocate for themselves and all the tricks to make chemo bearable.
