Alexis Mencos

I am a Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer survivor celebrating 10 years in remission. I was diagnosed in 2015 days after my 21st birthday when there wasn't a large AYA presence online or in hospital communities and I can only imagine the difference it would have made for me then!

Cheryl Lecroy a breast cancer survivor and survivorship mentor at The After Cancer

Head of Survivorship Experience

Cheryl Lecroy

I'm a breast cancer survivor and my mission is to create a recipe for a vibrant colorful life by blending together the Pillars of Health; nutrition, sleep, community connection, exercise, and stress management. Harmonizing these essential Pillars will inspire well-being, resiliency, and vitality. My focus centers on addressing the many things we can control through survivorship in the quest for a fulfilling existence.
