You may remember Sarah from a Katie Couric Instagram post we shared when Sarah got a double mastectomy in August. On this #FeelGoodFriday, we're happy to share that Sarah completed radiation treatment last month! Check out this emotional video of her ringing the bell, and please join us in wishing her well in the comments below. #repost: I (emotionally) rang the bell today. 25 treatments later, radiation is done and my body and mind are exhausted. Regardless, the past 5 weeks have been some of the most memorable of 2020 - from daily “radiation rodeo” rides to the hospital (shout out @kreebeau @itsthetoristory @dandun1), to my oncology team asking “@nickiminaj playlist again this morning, Sarah?” (they play music during treatment), to impromptu convos with some new friends and cancer thrivers (looking at you @jeromc2020). Overall, a chapter that came with some beauty and greatness despite the debility.
