I am a Breast Cancer Survivor 💖🩷

My name is Shanta Bolden, and this is my story.

In May 2024, I discovered a lump in my right breast. My doctor suspected scar tissue from a previous surgery, but because my mother had battled breast cancer twice, further testing was ordered. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, Triple Negative Stage 3 Breast Cancer. Hearing those words turned my world upside down, but I refused to lose faith. I knew that God was not done with me yet.

I began an intense treatment journey that included surgery to place a port, months of chemotherapy, five blood transfusions, a double mastectomy, radiation, and immunotherapy. There were moments when I was too weak to move, when I lost my hair, taste buds, and strength, but never my faith. Surrounded by the love and prayers of family, friends, and fellow survivors, I pressed on.

Today, I stand as a survivor, stronger, more grateful, and grounded in faith. My journey is not over, but my story is one of hope, courage, and God’s grace.
