Becks

Packing my bags while enjoying whatever time I have left.

Becks discription of her Substack: Sharing my journey as authentically as possible as I die of Metastatic Breast Cancer. I have chosen not to monetize my Substack, but if you would like to support me and/or my writing, you can find my Go Fund Me, linked on my profile. The writing here is strong and honest -- VERY honest. And also this; fantastic bits of the beauty of being alive.
