Believe… 
in cancer not changing my essence
Aura Noriega
My name is Aura Noriega, and I am a breast cancer survivor diagnosed at the age of 39. I never imagined going through such a painful and difficult process and wondering why me, with more questions than answers.
I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in November 2019 and received 16 chemotherapies, 31 radiotherapies, a radical mastectomy, and reconstruction. I made the decision to carry out my process with a victorious, positive attitude and, most importantly, with my faith; no matter how difficult it might be, one day, I always try to be happy. I have learned that we are vulnerable and that life is a sign that ends at any moment, so today, I live one day at a time. Every day being productive, with my God ahead.
A diagnosis does not determine who I am, and cancer does not change my essence.
