Shenell and Aidan, friends and mothers in their thirties, were diagnosed weeks apart with aggressive cancers. First Shenell with stage 4 glioblastoma brain cancer, and then Aidan with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer and melanoma. Both were considered the picture of health: young, active, and focused on diet and exercise. They were thrust into dealing with devastating diagnoses, but they had each other and they had hope.
When Shenell started her cancer journey, she made the choice to turn her death sentence into a life sentence. She looked for guidance and answers, but for her diagnosis, there were few. Piecing together what she could find on her own, she realized that long-term survivors defying the odds took a whole-person approach to their cancer treatment and healing. So alongside grueling brain surgery, chemo, and radiation treatments for an incurable disease, Shenell embraced this new beginning with a full body, mind, and spirit approach to give herself the best chance of surviving longer with terminal cancer. It was the beginning of her passion to align the latest medical advances and cancer-specific centers of excellence with whole-person healing.
As Shenell was in treatment, Aidan received a shocking diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer that had already spread quickly, between elective mammograms. She was facing one of the harshest regimens available: years of chemotherapy, radiation and surgeries. Only weeks ahead of Aidan, Shenell had already experienced a lifetime of perspective. She knew the necessary pain of treatment and the unfair emotional strain on all aspects of life. Shenell knew exactly what would support Aidan in the days to come, so she put together a guide of how to “do cancer” and made a care package with items she wished she had during the beginning of her treatment. She could walk with Aidan in a way no one else could.
After eventually reaching stability, we knew we could turn what we had learned into a resource for those impacted by cancer. We knew exactly how it felt to be lost and intimidated when a cancer diagnosis hits. All we wanted in that moment was to find a person like us, who had our cancers.
We wanted to know everything that person was doing—from medicines they took and the hospitals they were treated at, to the products they loved and the alternative therapies they tried. We wanted to know if they experienced the same thoughts and emotions.
Together as patients, caregivers, and sisters, we created a positive, empowering place where anyone impacted by cancer can get actionable information and guidance from survivors.
All Our Love,
Shenell, Aidan & Brenna
