@tigerlilycares @Maricia_Lisa @breastienell17 @PonderOnThat A9: I ensure that I make all of my follow up appointments, stay active, and I changed the way that I eat. Living a healthier lifestyle overall. #tlctransform #BCAM

@tigerlilycares @Maricia_Lisa @breastienell17 @PonderOnThat Q8: My biggest supporter was my twin sister. I had other family that supported but not as much as I felt they should have. I had friends that supported more than some family members. I also joined a few breast cancer groups that provided support as well. #tlctransform

@tigerlilycares @Maricia_Lisa @breastienell17 @PonderOnThat A7: Be kind because this is one of the scariest things a person will ever have to go through in their life. Let them know that you are with them every step of the way during this journey. #tlctransforn #BCAM

[Tonya Hicks @_thicks]

@tigerlilycares @Maricia_Lisa @breastienell17 @PonderOnThat A5: During and after treatment I was seeing a therapist to talk through some issues that I was dealing with such as certain family members not being there for me during my journey in addition to coping with going through a divorce. #tlctransform

[Tonya Hicks @_thicks]

@tigerlilycares @Maricia_Lisa @breastienell17 @PonderOnThat A5: My son really encouraged and pushed me to overcome any challenges that I faced. I just couldn't fathom giving up and not being here for him. #tlctransform #BCAM

[Tonya Hicks @_thicks]

@tigerlilycares @Maricia_Lisa @breastienell17 @PonderOnThat A4: Some of the challenges I faced daily was keeping a positive mindset no matter the obstacles that came about, and maintaining my faith throughout the journey.. #tlctransform #bcam

[Tonya Hicks @_thicks]

A3: My insurance covered all of my medical cost in addition to therapy. #tlctransform

A2: Some things women should keep an eye on is any lumps that appear abnormal, discharge from the nipple, and breast appearing to be deformed in any way..

[Tigerlily Foundation @tigerlilycares]

Q2: @Maricia_Lisa, @breastienell17, @_thicks, & @PonderOnThat What are some things women can keep an eye out for when doing their monthly self-breast exams? #TLCTransform #BCAM

[Tonya Hicks @_thicks]

A1: When I heard the news I remember feeling numb.. It didn't really hit me until I called and told my twin sister. Thats when I broke down crying.. #tlctransform
