Celebrating My Cancer Story Podcasts 2nd Anniversary with the perfect guest! You will be hearing from Dana who is a Papillary Thyroid Cancer Survivor.
Dana was diagnosed at age 24 and after being urged by her dentist to get the lump in her throat checked out.
Going through her thyroidectomy surgery and multiple rounds of RAI treatment was in a survival mode blur. It wasn’t until after all of that, when was released back into the 'wild' with a gigantic scar across her neck, that she started to struggle with her reality. For the longest time, she kept her journey private, not really talking about her experience with family, friends or coworkers.
It wasn't until I Dana met other women who had gone through the same cancer she had noticed that we all had a similar question we would ask each-other: "What does your scar look like?" She realized that she wasn't alone and that she had this built in and awesome cancer community that she was a part of. Fast forward to Dana creating The Butterfly Scar Project.
Dana mentions on her website
"My mission with The Butterfly Scar Project is to help empower women AFTER their cancer to help them feel comfortable in their scars. The thyroid is shaped like a butterfly and a butterfly has it's own meaning: A symbol of powerful transformation...so Butterfly Scar Project was born! Life after cancer is hard enough and there is no guide book. Cancer DOES SUCK but YOU DON'T. I hope these necklaces help women to feel powerful, strong and beautiful when they wear them and I hope they can feel empowered by their scars. Wherever you are on your journey know you are not alone."
