It's been awhile since I've posted, but I had to. Been thinking about the loss of a beautiful human being who passed away a few days ago from metastatic breast cancer.

I didn't get to know Abigail for as long and as deeply as others were blessed to, but I am grateful we got to know each other in patient advocacy during the last 5 years. Her videos on our platform alone got nearly 375,000 views... and many comments from people inspired after listening to her share.

She shared her voice passionately, FIERCELY and without apology. In spite of having to manage her own metastatic breast cancer diagnosis, she wanted to use her wisdom as an attorney to fight for perfect strangers, starting a PRO-BONO service to help those fighting stage 4 cancer who were also fighting legal situations.

Abigail's voice lives on, through not only her stories and blog (link below, was always a poignant read), but through the other people who were lucky to know and learn from her.

I don’t post here anymore . But please, if you read one thing today, let it be this piece written by someone who witnessed @CancerInsider and her wonders the most closely and the deepest: her husband, Eddie.

The world has lost a unicorn for sure. Though we only chatted but a few times, her impact left a deep impression on me. May we all continue this advocacy remembering Phuong and how incredibly powerful her voice has been.
