Description
Two women in their 30s. Two Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer diagnoses. And one fearless mission—to talk about everything life throws at you while staring mortality straight in the eye.
Krysten—a wife, mom, and unapologetically raw career woman—and Andy—a single, sharp-witted, die-hard Philadelphia sports fan—shared their unfiltered takes on life, love, laughter, and loss. They brought humor where you least expect it, inspiration when it’s needed most, and a reminder that even in the hardest moments, you can still live your breast life.
Krysten passed away in February 2022, leaving behind her husband, John, and their three sons. Andy passed away in August 2024. Their voices, courage, and laughter live on here—an unforgettable testament to friendship, resilience, and joy in the face of the unthinkable
