Gillian Lichota is dedicated to radically challenging her stage four hormone receptor +, HER2- breast cancer prognosis. Shortly after enduring years of grueling infertility treatments and losing a second-trimester pregnancy, Gillian was elated to find out she was pregnant again. The joy was short-lived, however, as she was soon diagnosed with stage three pregnancy-related breast cancer. The dream she had of becoming a mother was quite literally going to kill her. Gillian endured several rounds of chemotherapy and a mastectomy while pregnant. After the safe delivery of her son, she continued with more chemotherapy, radiation, and multiple surgeries until she was deemed to be in remission. Remission was short-lived. Breast cancer returned, metastasizing to her lungs.
Facing imminent death revealed profound truths about living. The thought of dying from an incurable disease brought Gillian newfound clarity and alignment, illuminating a path to be broken open and transformed so she can live her most authentic self. Today, Gillian remains committed to her wellbeing and is more than six years NED.
Gillian is also the founder and CEO of the iRise Above Foundation, a non-profit US based organization dedicated to empowering, inspiring and supporting young women to cultivate an outstanding quality of life during and after breast cancer.
