Janice Riggins, MSN, RN

Overview

I am a 30 plus year experienced registered nurse, wife, mother of 1 beautiful daughter and “NeNe” to two beautiful grandchildren who have all helped me along my own cancer journey. I was diagnosed with stage III triple positive left breast cancer in March 2024.  My journey through diagnosis, treatment, and healing has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. As a nurse, I had the clinical knowledge to understand the gravity of my diagnosis- but it was my deep belief in the body’s innate ability to heal, combined with evidence-based medicine, that shaped my path forward.

I initially chose an integrative approach to healing – one that honored both conventional in the beginning to a much more holistic practice after 3 months. After deciding to forgo chemotherapy after 4 rounds, I opted to not have radiation or surgery.  I embraced nutrition, mindfulness, movement, and emotional healing. This blend of science and soul not only supported my recovery but also empowered me to reclaim my body, mind, and spirit.

Now, I’m passionate about sharing my story to inspire and support others navigating cancer. I believe healing is not just about surviving- it’s about thriving. Through my experience, I hope to offer guidance, hope, and a reminder that you are not alone. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional, I’m here to walk beside you on this journey.
