Thriving After the Storm: Tanya’s Life in Remission

June 1st is National Cancer Survivor’s Day—a day to honor the strength it takes to face cancer, to reflect on the stories of those who’ve come through treatment, and to recognize for many, the journey is still going. Today, we’re sharing an update on someone we care deeply about—our client care manager, Tanya Ramsey.

Tanya’s journey began two years ago with a diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma, a form of breast cancer. She underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy and a double mastectomy—a physically and emotionally challenging road. While the cancer no longer appears in scans, her journey continues through routine check-ups and oncology visits.

Now in remission, Tanya credits her family and friends as the anchors that helped her stay grounded. She explains the small frustrations that once bothered her no longer hold power; instead, she chooses to go with the flow, seeking the good in each day and living with a renewed sense of purpose and calm.

For those just beginning their own cancer journey, Tanya offers heartfelt, honest advice:

“It is scary starting out, but trust your doctors, your family and friends that are there to support you.”

“Don’t think about all the negative [and] don’t read the negative.

“Just go into it positive. It’s all about mindset, right? You got to go in positive, and you got this…Know you’re going to battle through it. So many people now win against it, so you [have] to remember that.”

“There are so many areas where you can find support whether it’s friends or family…There are support groups out there. I follow breastcancer.org. They post many informative things.”

Tanya’s story is a reminder that survival isn’t just about enduring, but about moving forward with purpose, courage, and heart. We honor her today—and every day—as a source of strength for others navigating their own path
