10 years ago, I made the choice to have a preventive mastectomy.
In the first post, I shared about my decision. I wrote, “As I sit on the hotel floor typing this (we are down in Denver yet again, finalizing plans), I watch LittleMissH toddle over to me. She plants a big old slobbery booger-filled kiss on my mouth…and I know that I will do anything I have to do to have ten more years, five more weeks, one more day, with my children.”
And here I am, sitting at my kitchen counter, on my laptop 10 years later.
I find myself wondering if I could go back in time and tell myself anything about this process, what would I say?
Sitting here knowing how much it will hurt physically, how hard it will be emotionally to not be able to take care of my family for weeks at a time…knowing how long it will take to accept my new body.
And, knowing that in 9 years I’ll be going through it all again for a much-needed revision surgery…
What did I need to hear 10 years ago?
