The event planner noted that she took a break from social media in order to process the difficult news ahead of treatment. "For now I am preparing for my upcoming surgery and then will come my treatment plan," she continued.

"It is still scary of course," Guerdy added, "but I have love and support from those around me and that alone is the fuel that I need."
