My Breast Cancer Journal
Part 6

Breast Cancer is a disease that touches everyone lives. 1 out of 8 women get diagnosed with some form of breast cancer. I was diagnosed in January 2021. Here is my story…

Surgery Day - Journal Entry 3/12/21

Good morning! It’s 4:30 am CT and we are headed down to the medical center for my surgery. As a friend and fellow cancer survivor said to me, today is going to be the best day of my life! It will be the day I become cancer free!

Surgery starts at 7am and is expected to last 5 hours. Katie will provide you all an update here on Caring Bridge so stay tuned.

Feeling fierce and ready!

Thanks for all the prayers, texts, calls and creature comforts. I really feel your love! And thanks for feeding my family. It helps out so so  much!

Here’s a pic of me with my pal Laura who drove me in this week for some pre-ops, one with some of my bunco pals showing support and one of me in my FIERCE t-shirt.

You ALL are the reason

Where’ve you are – You ALL are the reason I can feel so FIERCE and FAITHFUL today! 

Let’s do this! xx Susan

 

A Message From Katie...

Wonderful news from Alex:

…Surgeon just called. Susan is all done and surgery went very well.  The surgery ended around 1:00 but the surgeon went to another surgery before calling. She is in recovery and doing well. It will be a few more hours before we can speak to her. Thank for all your well wishes…
 
Our fierce warrior is on her way.

If you are looking for a place to get a mammogram, just ask your OBGYN.

The technology these days is amazing and you will get your results almost immediately.

Please don’t delay this important act of self care. You and your loved ones deserve it!
