Teosha’s Story

Site created on October 8, 2018

Hi Family and Friends.  This is where I will chronicle my journey.  Thank you all for your continued prayers, love, and support.  I know I wouldn't be able to do this alone.


I was diagnosed with Stage 1B Breast Cancer on September 19, 2018.  I found a lump on my right breast that I thought was scar tissue from my breast reduction in 2016.  I didn't think much of it until it began to hurt.  I went in to the doctor because I had swimmer's ear and asked her to check out my lump and tell me what she thought.  Her response? That's not scar tissue.  


So a mammogram, ultrasound, and biopsy later confirmed her fears.  I was still thinking, "well maybe it's a cyst. And they will pop it like on Dr. Pimple Popper!" My next thought was that if this was breast cancer, I wanted them to cut these off and reconstruct new ones from my fat tummy!  


I lost one of my closest friends to breast cancer in 2013.  So I talk about Lola Brown a lot-and there is a foundation dedicated to educating young women about Breast Self Checks.  Because I speak so much of Lola, I didn't want to share anything about myself.  But, I quickly realized that I am NOT Lola, and I too, have a story to tell...

Journal entry by Teosha Harrison —

I got that call a year ago today. I was sitting at my desk and my boss happened to be in my office at the time. The door was already closed. It was as if the stage was already set for me to hear the words that would rock my world...

I have had the most tremendous support since then. When I didn't want to pray for myself there were so many standing with me, for me. 

I had scans last week and am currently waiting on the results.  I figured if something was there I would have been told by now. So I believe I am good.

What a difference a year makes!

As we approach October, you will hear me talk more about my dear sister, Lola, more about my life after Cancer, and more about how you should care for yourself and family.

Thank God I am cancer free. I am stronger than before and I am #totallyteosha. Love you all.
