But during the course of the last few months, she has taken to Instagram to document various stages of her illness. The posts include pictures from her hospital bed, updates about undergoing IVF to remove some of her eggs — which she captioned with a sweet message about how she planned “to store away” for future mini-mes — and, most recently, she revealed what it has been like loosing her hair.

By sharing her deeply personal story with the world, Britt is creating valuable awareness for breast cancer and will hopefully inspire other women to be more mindful of their own health and continue to get checkups. The more awareness and understanding of this disease, the better, and we applaud Catherine Britt for her incredible strength and unwavering positivity during this unimaginably difficult time.
