After struggling to get pregnant for the first time, Jessica was thrilled to make it to week 28. She celebrated every moment. And then she received a tragic diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer. A very aggressive form of cancer that required treatment while pregnant. While the baby came out healthy, she continued on through 11 rounds of chemo and a double mastectomy.
After getting the "all is well" diagnosis, on a routine trip to the dermatologist, she was diagnosed with stage 1 melanoma. She had it removed pretty easily, but just two weeks later, she got the third strike; a brain tumor. `
Jessica agreed to do this interview about a year after she had been given the all-clear for the third time. Then just 2 weeks prior to our conversation, Jessica was given yet another devastating diagnosis; her brain cancer has returned and even more aggressively. When I asked if she wanted to cancel, she insisted that she is going to keep fighting and keep spreading her message of joy.
This conversation is powerful coming from a woman who has conquered struggles but is also still in the heart of her hardest struggle yet. To me, Jessica is an example for all of us on how to enjoy not just the journey, but also enjoy the trials. She is vulnerable and raw and inspiring.
Jessica's mantra "This is just a setback to my ultimate comeback."
