I think it brought out an inner strength that I never recognized before and it let me, you know, articulate the fears without having to hear it, and then it had a way of being expressed and I didn't have to hear it, but it had a place.
What would you do if life handed you a stage four cancer diagnosis? For Antoinette Truglio Martin, the answer was to lean on her community and embrace her inner strength. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, Antoinette's journey took a challenging turn when the cancer metastasized to her vertebrae within five years. Despite this daunting reality, Antoinette remains a beacon of optimism, always seeing her glass as nearly full.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Real Life Resilience', she shares how journaling and the unwavering support of loved ones helped her navigate this tough journey. Her memoir, 'Hug Everyone You Know: A Year of Community, Courage, and Cancer', captures her first year living with cancer and serves as a testament to the power of community and storytelling. Antoinette's story isn't just about battling cancer; it's about finding hope and resilience in the darkest times.
If you're looking for an inspiring tale of courage and the human spirit's capacity to endure, this episode is a must-listen.
