The story of Lisa
As a breast cancer survivor with a bleeding disorder, I know all too well how difficult a health challenge can be! I almost didn’t survive a routine tonsillectomy during my college years due to massive hemorrhaging! I was later diagnosed with Von Willebrands disease type 1 many years after it was over. I had to wait until I had good enough health insurance to really explore what caused the massive bleeding.
I still manage to thrive in life during these very difficult challenges and focus on setting and achieving goals! I graduated from college, did several fitness challenges, and compete in bodybuilding. I recently published my first motivational eBook and used many photos from my competitions to demonstrate a fitness and healthy lifestyle!
I have given talks to various survivorship groups with the goal of increasing awareness and motivating them to try and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I always advise those with challenges to consult with their healthcare providers first. Check out my blog at fitsurvivor.com for a dose of motivation!
