Thank you for your beautifully written post. I am struck by the amazing details that parallel my own story with Breast Cancer. I am a 16 year survivor, stage 3 ( I can't even remember the full diagnosis) decided on a single breast mastectomy but those early decisions I made impact my life every day. It's so unfair how things have to play out. Dr.'s try but they really can't help you wrap your head around everything that is happening to you in that moment and how it will extrapolate out years later. Your post brought me back to that time, obsessing about Chemo therapy and losing my hair, which was really the least of my problems, right! Thank you for sharing and helping me reflect on what Cancer Awareness month means to me now.
