While undergoing treatment for breast cancer in 2015, Amber Melby found herself struggling, and wondering if she would ever be me again. She felt isolated, depressed, and alone. It was hard to share her fears and struggles with family and friends. Like many women on this journey, Amber was trying to balance grueling chemotherapy treatments, her job as a nurse, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life with a husband and 3 kids. She put on a brave face and reassured everyone saying ‘I’m ok! I’ve got this! I’m a fighter!’, even though she was suffering. It was during those moments that little acts of kindness such as a homemade meal for my family or a call from a friend was the glimmer of hope that carried her through, the light in my darkness. Inspired by that light, Amber vowed to find a way to pay it forward and B the Light was created. The name for B the Light was inspired by Amber’s Aunt, Brenda. It seeks ways for survivors to connect with others and with resources of support.
