Important Things to Know Before Mastectomy

I've been realizing that a lot of my viewers are in the "before mastectomy" panic, and so I thought I'd make a video just for those in this terribly stressful season. Please be assured that what is before you is only an ant hill and not an icy, jagged mountain full of goblins and thieves. I wish I'd known this!
Just another breast cancer survivor and advocate, here--don't take my words as medical advice please!

Just found you today. I'm currently waiting for a surgery date for a double mastectomy. Spacers will be imputed the same day. Then 3 months later, implants. My breast cancer from 1995 is back. A lot has changed but I'm still scared. I'm now 68. I pray & put one foot in front of the other.

Several years post simple bilateral mastectomy - good riddance to bad rubbish.

I am looking forward to it!

This is such perfect timing for me, and very likely for many others. Thank you.

Me too! I just read my biopsy report.
