Dear Chris — You are too sweet. I do take the educational value of my blog very seriously and I have a whole other component to my documentation that I am also excited to share when it is complete — the photo journal documenting the changes to my body during this journey. Whether this is material worth publishing, I have no idea, but I will gladly share my photos with anyone in need of honest information!

Cat–

I really hope you’re thinking about publishing your blog — you could help so many women who are anticipating going through what you have so gracefully ! It would be such a gift.

Comment on Continuing to Hang with My Boobs by Chopstick

Thanks for commenting, Steph! I am definitely grateful that I am cancer free and had the ability to have a double mastectomy. The peace of mind that follows from doing everything I can do to preven recurrence is priceless. You, too, will have the same peace of mind after your December surgery!

Hi Cat,
Long-time reader, first time commenter. I’m BRCA2+ and planning a double mastectomy in December. I was so heartened to read that you are back doing yoga — I do Bikram, too, and I think a lot about what it might feel like post-surgery. Thanks for your candor in explaining what it feels like. Sure, your boobs aren’t the same as they used to be, but at least you have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’ve done all you can to prevent recurrence. Great blog!
Yours, Steph H

You will be in my thoughts that Monday, Julie. You have the strength to get through this and will be just fine. Keep your spirits up and surround yourself with people who love and support you!

Thank you.

Today I found out I will be having my bilateral mastectomy on July 27. .. Just a little over 2 weeks to countdown.

I loved your blog.
It’s totally warmed and strengthened me for this journey.

Love Ju

Thanks for your post, Crystie. It’s funny, I’ve been thinking about this post a lot recently, as I continue to search for appropriate bath and beauty products. I ended up finding a paraben free cocoa butter from Crabtree & Evelyn and used it all the way up to the first of my reconstruction surgeries. It works great and does smell great. I need to pick up using it now that I’m totally healed up from the second reconstruction surgery. I also finally found a body wash that does not contain any parabens, EDTA, or SLS — Method!

Thanks again for your post!

Yay for new boobs and being proactive! I am also wondering what my older sister will do, as she just turned 40 and hasn’t had any genetic testing done yet. Your comment has reminded me to hound her a bit more.

Be well. Wishing you a quick recovery and amazing boobs at the end of the process!
