I faced Cancer at 37

In May of 2025, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and underwent 6 sessions of chemotherapy.

  • I faced Cancer at 37 years old!

    I was diagnosed on May 4th, 2025, with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, DLBCL subtype. I underwent 6 sessions of POLA RCHP regimen with 2 additional immunotherapy sessions followed right after. I ended my active cancer treatment on October 30th. I have decided to start this blog as a way to discuss the challenges that come with motherhood and facing cancer.

Why I Started Farmstand & Grove

before my diagnosis, I wanted to open a farm

I sought out my new passion into the agriculture field months before I was diagnosed with cancer. Cancer put my life and dreams on hold. I reside in one of the most hidden gems in Washington state where some of the best home grown produce comes from.

I was laid off my corporate job in the fall of 2024 and spent months trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life next. I spent roughly 6 months in training immersing myself into the preparation of opening a farm stand. I got sick from February through early May until I got the diagnosis that forever changed my life, Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

2025-2026 Goals

  • Start Cheer Mail, a free giftbox for those facing a new cancer diagnosis.
  • Try to find transparent resources readily available for those facing cancer.
  • Create a Resources Application for newly diagnosed patients.
  • Bridge the gap with finding free wigs for those who have lost hair due to chemotherapy.
  • Start online support groups for those seeking support groups for women facing cancer in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond.
  • Create an App to keep track of cancer related appointments, scans so everything is organized at your fingertips.
