Lauren Candies Tarpley

At the age of 34, Lauren Candies Tarpley was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. Living as an AYA (adolescent and young adult) cancer patient, Lauren thought it was important to let others know about the good, the bad, and the ugly. She lives in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, with her husband, their two-year-old son and her 16-year-old MinPin. She is thankful her mom, dad, younger sister, and in-laws have been able to help her through her journey.
