Mainly on IG.Find me there Shonte19. Trying to living positively as possible, valuing quality of life. Living with terminal Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer.
During #OncologyNursingMonth, Shonte reminds us about the importance of asking questions and speaking up. As a registered nurse who also has breast cancer, she understands how valuable her #oncology nursing team is for support and answers.
We were cooking in the kitchen with @shonte19. We had a blast. Who knew cooking with your community could be such fun. Until next month. Be sure to check the calendar on the website.

"Media is scared to identify metastatic breast cancer, instead calling it 'stage 4 breast cancer' or framing it as 'complications from breast cancer..."
