Journal entry by Melissa Rivera —
This month means so much to each of us in one way or another. This will be the first year of many where I change from “knowing someone” to being “one of the someones”. It takes a lot to post the picture to the left, this was the day after my double mastectomy. The picture on the right is today. There’s many more in between but I’m blessed to be standing where I am today. I can’t stress enough to woman, and men, to check and know your body. I wish I would’ve gone sooner, but since I can’t change time, I’m hoping I can help others with early detection and prevention.

With that said, I’ll be participating in the breast cancer walk October 20 at Amalie Arena. I’ve attached the link to my team (link in bio). While these donations don’t directly assist me, they will help fund the American Cancer Society in helping others with treatment, classes, support groups, research and much more! If you can’t donate, I’m hoping you’ll join my team and walk to remember those who’ve past, honor those who survived and help those currently fighting! ❤️ #breastcancerawarenessmonth #cancerawareness #pinkribbons #cancerwalk #livelife #loveeachother
