Elizabeth Ugwoma Awo-Ejeh: Lessons I Learned from My Breast Cancer Journey
Elizabeth Ugwoma Awo-Ejeh, Advocate for Early Detection and Women’s Empowerment, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Lessons I Learned from My Breast Cancer Journey
My journey with breast cancer has shaped me into a stronger, more compassionate, and purpose-driven woman. While I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone, I am grateful for the lessons it taught me and the opportunity to use my story to inspire and help others.
Some of the lessons:
■ You Have More Strength Than You Know
Cancer will test you in unimaginable ways, but it also reveals your resilience. Every round of chemo, every scar, and every step of the journey reminded me of the strength I carry within.
■ Your Body is Always Speaking – Don’t Ignore It
A small lump that could’ve been brushed off changed my life. I’ve learned to listen to my body and prioritize my health. Early detection matters, and seeking help quickly can make all the difference.
■ My scars are a testament to my survival.
They remind me of the battles I’ve fought and the strength I’ve gained. Cancer doesn’t define me – it refined me.
■ Opening up about my diagnosis was hard, but it brought healing and connections I never expected. I realized that vulnerability isn’t weakness – it’s bravery. Sharing my story has inspired others, and that alone makes it worth it.”
