Summary
"I remember being acutely aware that it was the worst day of my life up to that point, and the world was still going. People were out for runs in Central Park. People were going to the office. People were picking their kids up from school. It felt like everyone else's world kept turning and I was in purgatory."
It's been one year since I was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma with DCIS. Breast cancer. A diagnosis that rocked my world and changed my life. In this solo episode, I'm reflecting on the past year, including revisiting some of my notes and thoughts from one year ago, and sharing what happens next.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Alley on the Run show. I'm your host |
| 0:07.4 | Ali feller and I will spare you the long intro and the usual spiel because today it is just you and me I'm here with a solo |
| 0:17.0 | episode that I thought was a good idea a few weeks ago I was like I'm going to do my one year since diagnosis episode. |
| 0:27.0 | One year ago, I was diagnosed with invasive duttle carcinoma, bilateral breast cancer, really exciting times. |
| 0:37.5 | And so I was like I'll do this great episode where I'll just go through what the past year has been like and I'll sum it all up and I'll |
| 0:44.7 | tie the pretty bow and that is so not where my head is at right now so |
| 0:50.0 | instead I'm going to break this episode into two parts in the first I'm actually revisiting some of the things that I had written down a year ago when I recorded the initial episode sharing my diagnosis and there were a few things in there |
| 1:04.6 | that I thought were worth checking in on and then in the second half of this episode I |
| 1:09.8 | will answer listener questions thank you so much to everyone who submitted |
| 1:13.2 | questions over Instagram stories. I am Ali on the run one over there that's where I |
| 1:17.5 | do a lot of sharing. Lot of long captions happening over on Instagram. I love the drama. What can I say? So let's get into it. Me, you, and a year of living with breast cancer. |
| 1:35.1 | Let's see what happens. All right, I'm happy you're here. And if this is the first episode of the |
| 1:49.3 | Alley on the Run show that you've ever tuned in for. Can I change your mind? |
| 1:55.4 | I would say start with one of the episodes |
| 1:58.2 | with one of the many, many, many amazing, |
| 2:01.1 | talented and impressive guests who have been on the show over the past several years and 700 episodes. |
| 2:08.0 | Then I think get caught up on the personal stuff. Yeah, do that. I say this because I'm not going back through the initial |
| 2:14.7 | diagnosis. I've relived that day and those first few weeks enough and I also have |
| 2:21.4 | done episodes on what that period was like. |
| 2:24.0 | So if you go back about a year ago last June 2023, |
| 2:28.0 | I put out a few different episodes, at least two episodes |
| 2:31.0 | where I talked about the diagnosis and then I talked about how I was feeling before heading into surgery. I had a double mastectomy. I later had reconstruction surgery. I then underwent chemotherapy. So can I skip over that stuff today? |
