beat cancer (read all 6 entries…)
an important goal accomplished 2 weeks ago

all my follow-up appointments indicate that i’m cancer- free. i’m hesitant to state this with confidence and certainty because this past year has shown me that there’s very little certain about our physical existence. but for now, i’m done with cancer. now i have to focus on how to get back to doing the things that bring me joy.

beat cancer (read all 6 entries…)
on the road to recovery 4 months ago

It’s been one week and two days since I had my mastectomy. I seem to be recovering quite well. I had a pocket of fluid on my right arm and side of my chest from the lymph node dissection, so that’s kinda annoying. But otherwise, I’m able to sit up and walk around a little bit. I get the stitches out next week.

I think because I had a tram-flap reconstruction rather than implants, I almost feel like I still have my own breasts, since my own tissue was used for the reconstruction. I’m starting to think that makes a big difference in how I react to my new body—almost as if I don’t even have a new body, just a different arrangement! And just in time for swimsuit season!
