Krissy White has faced two moments in her life that could have ended very differently.

Years before breast cancer, a life-threatening pregnancy left Krissy fighting for her life and her daughter in critical condition. Doctors later told her that another ten minutes could have changed everything.

Years later, Krissy was diagnosed with breast cancer and learned she would face an aggressive treatment plan that included chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.

Looking back on both experiences, Krissy says:

“I cheated death twice.”

That realization eventually led to a bigger question:

Why am I still here?

In this episode of Dallas the Podcast, Krissy shares the raw story behind her breast cancer journey, the role faith and family played in carrying her through, and how surviving difficult chapters eventually led her toward purpose.

Today, Krissy is the author of My Pink Truth and president of the Tuman Breast Cancer Foundation, where she helps other women and families navigate the realities of treatment and life beyond diagnosis.

Krissy also opens up about:

Receiving the phone call that changed her life

Walking through treatment during COVID

Losing her hair and finding humor in the middle of it

The complicated meaning of “pink” after breast cancer

Surrendering control and trusting God

Why she wrote My Pink Truth

Finding purpose through serving others

Becoming an overcomer instead of simply a survivor

This is an honest conversation about breast cancer, faith, family, resilience, and the belief that even the chapters we never would have chosen can still be used for something meaningful.
