About me

Hi! My name is Bisa, and I'm a breast cancer thriver, plus-size adventurer, writer, and photographer.

After finishing treatment for breast cancer, I received a 5-year survivorship plan. It included monthly, then quarterly test and doctor visits. Instead of worrying about whether or not the disease would return, I created a recovery plan of my own. My plan included exploring the world around me and new experiences.

The blog's mission is to remind you we can create a life we love despite our weight and circumstances. My goal is to inspire others to follow their dreams and not wait for a devasting diagnosis to live the life you've always wanted. I want to share the power of travel to help through anxiety, stress after having breast cancer.

Join me on my journey. I still have miles to travel

♥ I ᔕTIᒪᒪ ᕼᗩᐯE ᗰIᒪEᔕ TO TᖇᗩᐯEᒪ ♥ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After i was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 I thought my life was over. At that time everyone I knew in my personal life who had cancer had died soon after their diagnoses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ During treatment, I prepared myself for the worst possible outcome. I started to reflect on my life and I realized how blessed I was to have experienced all of that I had. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had traveled the world, I raised three girls, and I had achieved some successful professionally. I had come a long way from that shy girl on the southside of Chicago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was prepared to accept whatever was going to happen next. Then I started to meet more and more women survivors. Some more than 10 years and then 20 years (@miaadventura) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I knew “I still have miles to travel,” i,n life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have some exciting that I would like to share with you all later today. I am making some final adjustments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Come back to here to see what is next for Myles to Travel.
