One tiny lump. One life-changing diagnosis. When Sangita Patel found a small lump on her neck in 2023, she never imagined it would be a rare, aggressive thyroid cancer. Her diagnosis led her to University Health Network where she met Dr. Jesse Pasternak, a renowned surgeon who brought a groundbreaking procedure called the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) to UHN.

My heart ❤️ Sitting with this the last hour. Kate Middleton got raw and real about her surgery and the findings of her cancer in the aftermath and now dealing with her journey with ‘preventative chemotherapy’ Feels very familiar - This hit me hard ❤️ Here is a mother of 3 children at the age of 42, healthy and strong and out of nowhere dealing with the C word. Went into surgery thinking there wasn’t any cancer and bam her pathology report showed another story. She mentions she is fine, but a jou

Phase 3 complete, I AM CANCER-FREE 💪🏽 I got the official call from my Oncologist. And while I will be having scans every 3 mths…I am good 👍🏽 Peeps, there I was after my scan, I left the hospital and had the uncontrollable ugly cry…it was tears of joy 😊 I feel like a warrior, I feel like I can conquer the world. I feel like how did I get through this year…I guess the answer is, positive mind set. Truth is, I started believing in a higher power, can’t really explain it but I feel this energy

It’s #FITNESSTUESDAY !!! Ommmmm…I took a moment while in Mallorca to take it all in, gratitude ❤️ My mind set has shifted since the cancer diagnosis. Fruits taste sweeter, fresh air is freedom, family is my light and I’ve learned to walk away from negativity, those people or situations that makes you feel small ❤️ Everything now lives in a positive light…some days are hard, but I find (as I say) the #CoreJoy Breathe….🧘🏽‍♀️ Travel the world, meet new peeps and sing at the top of your lungs 😊 #

Ready to post this clip🥹❤️ For me this wasn’t just a red carpet interview, it was a conversation mama to mama. We know #AngelinaJolie has full control to who she speaks to and what she wants to share and oh boy, (I believe I’m an energy reader) So when she locked her eyes with mine, let her guard down…Yup, we both felt it ❤️ I think as older we get the more we want to connect with others, to help one another on this journey we call life.

Sangita didn’t know she wanted to become a nurse until she became a widow. After losing her husband to a 20-year battle with cancer, Sangita was so inspired by watching the nursing team care for her husband, she decided to go back to school to become a nurse. Her goal? “I went to nursing school specifically to come work on the oncology unit at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital,” said Sangita. “I hadn’t been to school in 25 years, so the thought was a little daunting, but I just felt it was
