When she went to see her doctor for a regular checkup, she shared her concerns about the lump. This consultation resulted in mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies, and eventually bad news. &nbsp;&nbsp;With no family history of cancer, Elissa didn&rsquo;t expect to be diagnosed with one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer: triple negative.<\/p>\n<p>Understandably, her initial reaction to the diagnosis was shock and fear.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I crumbled. Information was coming at me so fast, that I couldn&rsquo;t process it all. In a matter of a few short days, I was being sent for scans, treatment plans, and invasive tests. I went from being a productive member of society to being a patient with a red card. My life as I knew it was turned upside down. I was mad, angry, and I had a pass to a club I never wanted to be in.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Elissa found that the trauma is not so much in the treatment, but in accepting your diagnosis and facing the reality of your mortality.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Honestly, the first thing that came to mind was that I was going to die, not survive. As a single mother of an eight-year-old, I kept asking myself: Why me? How is this happening? Who would I leave my child to? I had worked so hard to be there for him. I had a very difficult time believing I needed to fight. I never really saw myself as a fighter.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/ab-test\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2023\/07\/Ellisa.jpg\" alt=\"inline_121_https:\/\/wellspringalberta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ellisa.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Elissa knew she had a long road ahead of her and needed to be strong for her son while remaining focused on one main goal &ndash; getting healthy again. Wellspring wasn&rsquo;t quite open when she finished treatments, but she had heard that a new cancer support centre was &ldquo;in construction&rdquo; very close to her home.&nbsp; &ldquo;It was a great motivation for me as I walked by the new site on a daily basis and felt hopeful that soon there will be a place for all cancer-related, friends and family to share their stories, concerns, grief, and success stories.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Elissa joined Wellspring Edmonton as soon as the facility opened to the public. Participating in ACE, painting, sculpture, research studies, felting, and special functions at Wellspring gave her a sense of community and belonging, and she is grateful for all the different ways she was able to connect with others during her cancer journey.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I was surrounded by women who weren&rsquo;t afraid to talk about cancer, share their stories, and &ldquo;get it.&rdquo; Connecting with other survivors in my support groups has helped ease the transition I&rsquo;ve been going through. I formed strong bonds with the other members and drew strength and resilience from them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Elissa successfully made the transition &mdash; from breast cancer patient to breast cancer survivor. Today, Elissa has been cancer-free for five years and she considers it a special honour of being a member of this club. She is grateful to science, medicine, and supportive care for making her aggressive cancer treatable.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;During my time at Wellspring, I learned that there is no &ldquo;typical mold&rdquo; for who will or will not get cancer. We&rsquo;ve all been affected by it, and we&rsquo;re all here to support one another. I don&rsquo;t often mention that I&rsquo;m a cancer survivor, but when I do, I&rsquo;m enthusiastic about all the best things I tried while at Wellspring.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Looking back on her emotional struggles during cancer treatment, Elissa admits that she regrets certain things she did or said. &ldquo;I see now that it was all part of my journey. Everyone has a different way of coping and that&rsquo;s ok too.&nbsp; I was scared, overwhelmed, and shocked. I try to make up for it now. I am grateful for each person who guided me along the way, in whichever way they felt comfortable helping.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>With a positive attitude and a smile on her face, she continues to support others in this fight and inspire them to look forward to a bright future ahead. &ldquo;I teach others that it&rsquo;s okay to feel all the emotions on the spectrum. I am deeply committed to spreading hope and encouraging others. I share my story in the hopes of reassuring others that despite the challenges, we all have the inner strength and power we did not believe we had to overcome them.&rdquo;<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elissa had just turned 42 when she felt an uncomfortable lump in her left armpit while swimming at her parents\u2019 outdoor pool.
