Survivor Stories: In Your Own Words

Every experience holds a story worth telling.

Over the years, women have opened up to us about their experiences, and we've come to understand that there's no such thing as a "normal" path through breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, or recovery.

Recovery isn’t linear. Neither is your story.

We’re collecting submissions for a new series called "Survivor Stories from RecoverEase" because sometimes what you’ve lived through is exactly what someone else needs to hear. Relating to women who have been through this can help others feel more prepared and less alone in their experience.

We’d love to hear from you.

What you tell us doesn’t have to be limited to what happened to your body — though those experiences are important, too. What we live through can reach into our relationships, work, families, sense of self, and parts of life we may never have expected it to touch.

You might write about something that unfolded over months or years, or one moment that has stayed with you.

It doesn’t need to be extraordinary. It only needs to be something you want to tell.

And you don't have to be a professional writer. We’re interested in your experience, in your voice.

We’ll be publishing selected pieces on our website and social media.
