Sherri, Stage 1

"When your world is falling apart, is when the healing begins." Sherri is a Breast Cancer survivor, Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor, mom and wife from Cleveland, Ohio. She is also an athlete, a yogi, and an avid crossfitter. Sherri grew up involved in athletics, participating in gymnastics through high school and later becoming a dedicated runner. So when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 21 years old, her world stood still. Sherri's lymphoma treatment consisted of mantle radiation, which put her at an even higher risk for breast cancer, to which she was no stranger; Sherri lost both her grandmother and aunt to breast cancer. In August of 2018, she heard those words 'you have breast cancer.' On this week's Behind the Bra Podcast, Sherri shares her experience being a two-time cancer survivor, the trauma effects of a cancer diagnosis, and how through it all she has still learned that gratitude is the most important thing to embrace.
