Tamira Jubber was 29 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her story is one about finding meaning in life experiences that spanned from a childhood in Zimbabwe to a sudden departure to the US, and then to a breast cancer diagnosis that ran parallel to her sister donating a kidney to a stranger. This is the story of one woman asking why her life path has led where it has, and discovering some answers along the way through the help of a few decades’ view and some unexpected twists that led to chance encounters. In this episode, Tamira reads her piece “‘Linda: My Tamoxifen Tester‘” from Wildfire Magazine’s 2021 “Bay Area Young Survivors” issue.
