Coping with Cancer

Hi, I’m Traci and I was diagnosed with Stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma in my left breast at the end of February 2023. As I began to research about breast cancer, I found myself longing for more stories about older women, especially older Black women with breast cancer but didn’t find many. So I decided to document my journey for myself, immediate and extended family and close friends via a private YouTube channel. But it occurred to me that just as I was looking for the stories of a “me”, others might be too, so I made this channel public to hopefully help other women cope on this journey. Whether you got the link to this space because we personally know each other, or you just stumbled across it on your own, welcome. I’m glad you’re here. But warning: you won’t find nicely curated and edited videos of my breast cancer journey. I’m going to be vulnerable, raw and uncut about how I’m coping with cancer. Thanks for joining me.
