About

Hola — I’m Nancy De Jesús. I’m a HER2-positive breast cancer survivor, patient advocate, and writer. After treatment I turned my experience into advocacy: supporting other patients, sharing practical resources, and speaking about navigating care, emotional recovery, and survivorship. This site collects my projects, writing, and ways to connect.

If you want this page in Spanish or need it adapted for an event speaker bio, I can generate that version too.
