Bridget Bahl Opens Up On Her Breast Cancer Journey For Elle
In a powerful new essay for Elle, influencer Bridget Bahl—also known as @bridget—is opening up on her experience with breast cancer. First diagnosed in September 2024, Bahl is now close to completing her treatment. In her essay, she delves into her feelings over losing internal and external control while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, ranging from extreme illness and weight loss to identifying sources of joy and purpose. Bahl also shares the changes in her goals of having a family, her marriage, and experiencing happiness.
“My husband, who’s a doctor, and I both felt this intense pressure to show up [professionally], and I really couldn’t,” Bahl said. “That was really hard for me to come to terms with. At first, I pictured that I would be lying in bed and could be on my computer and working. The reality was that one time [The Bar] had a [product] drop and I crawled from my bed to my computer to get it all set up. I was in complete denial that I couldn’t work like I used to. It was a very humbling experience. [Cancer] brought [Mike and I] closer together. We’ve been married for two years now, though it feels like 22. But there’s a lot of joy to look forward to. We made it through something really hard. It’s a bond you couldn’t otherwise create in a year, I don’t think. I keep saying, ‘Choose your husband like your life depends on it.’ We went to the emergency room once and we were there for so long. He laid in the bed with me, and I was just thinking about all those guys who didn’t text me back when I was dating in my 20s and made me so upset. The guy who’s not texting you back is not the guy who’s lying with you in the emergency room. I got married kind of late, and I’m like, well, at least I got something right. Maybe I didn’t meet someone sooner because I had to learn what really matters.”
