Welcome to
Living Life Over Cancer

Living Life Over Cancer was a result of being diagnosed with recurrent stage four breast cancer. As both an educator and someone experiencing cancer firsthand, I am passionate about sharing my experiences and knowledge with others. I am practicing integrative medicine in support of my health and well-being.  

 

Through this site, I offer guidance and support on how to prioritize your health through simple and sustainable changes. Whether you’re a cancer patient, survivor, or simply someone looking to improve your health, I hope you find comfort and inspiration in my journey to live life over cancer.  

​

​

More than a memoir, Rise is a guide for anyone navigating cancer: patients, survivors, and caregivers alike. Through vulnerability, insight, and hope, Betty Jean offers tools and encouragement to help others rise above fear and live with purpose.
