Sara Machnik's @saralou.writes foray into writing poetry connected her with cancer patients around the world. Diagnosed with breast cancer in the middle of the pandemic, COVID protocols made it difficult to connect with other warriors, friends, and family. In her own words,"My first poem I ever wrote was during chemotherapy. I read a lot of poetry books. I'm a big fan of poetry, but I never considered writing poetry myself. But I feel like it just poured out of me in the midst of chemotherapy and losing my hair, losing a lot of friends, losing what I felt like was my whole future."
