Friends, family, colleagues, supporters.. great news: the pathology report from surgery confirmed no evidence of disease!
If you’ve ever had a close loss, had a difficult medical challenge, or have been through a similar situation when you’ve received overwhelming support from your community, you know how tough it is to adequately express the gratitude for every big and small thing. Every text, comment, mention of healing thoughts/prayers, donation and meal has not gone unnoticed, and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of you.
Healing from the mastectomy has gone beautifully, and I was able to get my port out this week. The hardest part of the last month has been to follow my restrictions and not over-do it (are we surprised?). The World Cup provided a timely distraction, but it has felt great to start easing back into more physical outdoor activities this week.
What’s next? I’ll continue one medication that is in the form of an injection every 3 weeks for 6 more months, and another medication for the next 5 years to keep targeting the hormone drivers of my cancer, but as far as I know, all of the difficult “big” things are behind me. The reconstruction timeline is still TBD, but will likely go into next year. I plan on returning back to work as normally as possible in mid-August.
A special shout out to my Mom and roommate Anna for being my post-surgery support and gracefully dealing with a highly independent/stubborn patient.
