Tracey Stills is a 20-year African American breast cancer survivor/thriver, wife, and mother. Tracey became the advocate she couldn't find. The one that she needed while fighting for her life.

Listen to your body. 3. Keep a journal. 4. Lean in. Cry and holler if you need to, but don't stay there! 5. Reach out.

I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and lead me to where I am today. As a Cancer Doula, I use my 11 years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as a personal patient advocate.
