Emily is a former elder law attorney turned stay at home mom to her two year old son, wife to her wonderful husband, and former college swimmer, although she never strays too far from the water. In November of 2017, just days after her son’s second birthday and her fifth wedding anniversary, she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Because she has always believed in the power of one’s own voice, she began blogging about her cancer diagnosis and treatment journey at http://emilyrgarnett.com as a way to foster community, create dialogue, and provide education around breast cancer, particularly in young women.
