Meet Heather Barry, a vibrant Thriver from Boston, MA. Heather’s world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with colorectal cancer just months after welcoming her third daughter.

1. The Herbal Zen Head Hug Shower Steamers – While not every person going through cancer treatment welcomes scented products, these calming aromatherapy shower streamers (like bath bombs but for your shower) helps reduce stress while going through treatment and gives me an opportunity to treat myself to some much needed self care.

2. Oncology Body Cream – During cancer treatment your skin changes so much and can become extremely sensitive. Having the right skin products to get some relief is key. This cream is specifically for helping heal skin damaged from radiation and/or chemo treatment.

3. Breville – A common side effect of cancer treatment is mouth sores, which make it hard to eat some of your favorite solid foods. I really wanted a good blender so I could ensure I was still getting all the nutrients I needed especially during the times when certain foods were off limits.

4. Ostomy Seat Belt Pillow Protector – For anyone dealing with an ostomy bag of any kind, this seatbelt pillow protector helps made car rides so much more comfortable.

5. Swoveralls – Free the waist band! Swoveralls are fun, comfy and functional.

Despite the challenges, Heather’s spirit remains unbroken. After she is healed from surgery and gets back to ‘normal life’ she plans to become an advocate and public speaker for women’s health, ensuring others don’t experience the same medical gaslighting she did.
