    DMX with expander placement 6/9. Trying to prepare for my leave from work and my home.

  • lumpectomy and bilateral reduction on 4/27 at Dana Farber. I’m Stage 1 grade 1 and hoping that doesn’t change with surgery.
    mom doing all that I can to be ready including exercise, massage, saunas, red light therapy, tightly controlling nutrition etc.

    Right now I’d say my biggest challenges are mental.

    @alawton and @placechristina welcome you both here ! Yes, the mental part is really tough, and balancing all the feelings, appointments, and life. We're all here for you!

    Hi. I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node dissection on 6/4. I was feeling better every day and started back working remotely and now i'm exhausted and feel like i'm getting a cold. I am worried I didn't give myself enough time. I am waiting on pathology results and oncotype, and am a little nervous about that.
