a girl from newark

 today. I spoke too the committee


whewwwwww I was so nervous. I  have been volunteering with the American cancer society since I was first diagnosed I met this amazing Dr. at an event in my hometown we kept in contact via instagram , asked if she could connect me with someone of course I said yes , I honestly assume it was a newly diagnosed person. It was actually acs asking if I ever receive bioMarker testing I told them I'm pretty sure I did , so I contacted my nurse navigator asked her to confirmed an she called me right away . She confirmed an sent over exactly what type of testing I had, I actually told her what it was for so she broke it down in jargon I can understand lol which helped me out so much. That was march of 2023 a week out of surgery . I didn't know what I was doing making all these videos professing my urging for biomarker testing, I just didn't think my story would be the story that politicians would agree pass ME????


October 2024 I was invited to share my testimony with assembly committee .........


all of them said yes......................


an article after the hearing said ' Jeanelle Adams testimony , changed the minds three council men.''


YOUR STORY HAS. POWER

I was so happy for them , still am but I often feel like when am I next ? Well I now know ! No official date but thats my fault ,  I just recently was introduced to a new surgeon tho I think may be my potential new dr. I...

Embracing the Power of Yes: A Journey of Change and Growth

The concept of New Year's resolutions often comes to mind. Personally, I have never been a firm believer in setting resolutions, but I have come to realize that there are certain patterns in my life that I consistently strive to change. One such pattern is my desire to read more. Every year, I make a promise to myself that I will dedicate more time to reading, and yet, I often find myself falling short of this goal. It's a recurring cycle that I can't seem to break. Perhaps it's my Virgo nature that contributes to this cycle. As a Virgo, I am known for my meticulous planning and attention to detail. I always get a planner and jot down all the things I intend to do. It's almost comical how I am constantly "Virgoing" – a term I use to describe my tendency to overanalyze and overthink things.
