March is Triple Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this conversation is one you won’t want to miss. Our latest BRA Banter features one of our very own, Sharon Butler of Murfreesboro, as she shares her experience with a Triple Negative diagnosis and her journey into survivorship. With honesty and strength, Sharon reflects on how BRA’s program components supported her through treatment and helped her step into this next chapter with confidence and community. Her words say it best: “You might have cancer, but cancer does NOT have you.” This recorded conversation is personal, powerful, and rooted in hope. Watch, listen, and be encouraged by a fellow survivor who reminds us all what resilience truly looks like.
