Buckle up. This one is going to be a bit long (but I’ve included photos!)

This is what I used to look like in 2019. Not proud, but it was what it was.

Babies and orthopedic injuries add up. Image Then I got Covid in 2020. It hit my gut and never let go. For about a year and a half I couldn’t taste or smell food and my body couldn’t digest food.

It became a struggle to eat enough to survive. I lost a lot of weight - 85 pounds. I even became malnourished.

So New Hampshire, I have a story to tell you.

I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and just had a bilateral mastectomy.

No history of breast cancer in my family, best guess is that it’s environmentaly triggered (as is the majority of cancer cases.)

#PFAS #PFOS #EPA I’m not alone, there are a ton of cancer cases in our town of Merrimack. THREE cases of colon cancer just in my neighborhood. We’ve got kids with cancer, tons of women with breast cancer, men with prostate cancer, kidney cancers.
