My name is Lyra, and today I turned 26 🎂💛. I never imagined that this birthday would be celebrated not with a party, but with a quiet, trembling victory — a victory that comes after a journey filled with unimaginable challenges, courage, and resilience. Every moment has been a test, and every step forward has been hard-earned.

Over the past months, I endured 67 chemotherapy sessions — 67 battles against fear, pain, and uncertainty. 😭❤‍🩹 Each session was a struggle, each day a challenge to hold onto hope when it felt like it was slipping through my fingers. Yet, through it all, I found small sparks of strength that kept me moving forward, reminding me that survival is built one courageous step at a time.

Today, I can finally say it out loud: I survived 💪. I am alive 🙏. Today marks my Final Chemo — a milestone I prayed for, cried for, and clung to during the hardest moments. It is a moment of relief, of triumph, and of acknowledgment that every tear, every fear, and every struggle has led me to this day. 😭✨

As I step into this new chapter, my heart is full — not with fear, but with hope. 🌈💫 This hope is gentle, glowing, and hard-earned. It is the result of every person who stood by me, every prayer whispered in quiet moments, and every ounce of inner strength I summoned when it felt impossible to continue.

I humbly ask for your prayers as I continue this journey — for healing, for peace, and for a future where joy comes easily again. 🙏😭💛 Your thoughts, encouragement, and love give me strength and remind me that even in the darkest times, connection and compassion can light the way forward.

Here’s to life. Here’s to survival. Here’s to being 26 — and still fighting, still standing, and still shining. Today is not just a birthday; it is a celebration of resilience, courage, and the beauty of living fully after enduring the unimaginable. 💛✨
