#MyBraveStory

What does being #BraveLikeJana mean to you?

“I am proud of how I have owned up to my baldness and scars. I miss my old self. But my old self wouldn’t have survived in the way I did. I can appreciate my body for what it’s done for me—by saving my life—not by what it looks like.”

-Jana le Roux
