As most friends, family and work colleagues would know by now, I am now preparing for doing the "Angelina" and going back into surgery and doing a double mastectomy/re-construction. This procedure will be done next week. It's not near as daunting this time around as I understand the procedure itself AND I'm doing dealing with the cancer side. This is merely a preventative measure that will bring better odds to help ensure the cancer doesn't come back and elongate my life way into the future!
I think it's an important thing to talk about and share openly though as many women go through this quietly and may have a very hard time processing it and adjusting the physicality of the change to their bodies. It's a lot to take in but for me I'm all about the future and living a long life ahead and this is just a part of those efforts.
Thanks to everyone for all for the continued support!
Best of luck Laurice!! I'd be doing the same thing. It is the right decision.
