Summer Mitchell Instagram – I’ve typed and deleted so many times I dont even know where to start. If you would’ve told me a year ago I was going to lose my mom to cancer then get diagnosed myself, I don’t think I would’ve made it through the conversation. Yet somehow.. here I am.
A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. For the last year, I felt like I was drifting… grief, fear, survival mode on repeat. Numb. And then you hear words like that, and it hits you how little control you really have over this life. It was time to wake tf up.
Since my mom never got the chance to fight, I fought for both of us. And today I’m happy to say I am cancer free. I am healing. I am awake again.
Maybe one day I’ll find all the right words but for now I just want to say, please don’t wait for life to remind you how fragile it is. Be present. Be kind to yourself. And when your body speaks to you, make sure you’re listening.
Thank you to everyone in my life who has stood by me and to the little reminders from those who had to leave. I love you all. This chapter ends with more life. Nice try though, cancer.🖕🏽 | Posted on 19/Sep/2025 23:38:05
