A personal health update: 2 weeks ago today, I had a single mastectomy. Definitely not part of the original plan, but sometimes the plan changes and you gotta pivot like Ross Geller. I finally got clear margins and I am now breast cancer free! No further treatment needed ๐๐

- I took this photo on Feb 20, the day of my annual mammogram, thinking it would be a cute idea to promote breast health. But the lighting was bad so I deleted it. Then 2 mammograms and 1 biopsy later, I received a diagnosis: breast cancer.

- Sometimes even the best plans need a detour ๐ง Pathology revealed more calcifications than expected & they need to go back in to get wider margins. So, second surgery today. Just a bump in the road/blip on the screen/kick to the nuts. Still so grateful! โค๏ธ

00:00- Replying to @MarneyGellnerThankfully, it was detected very early and my treatment plan is to have a lumpectomy, followed by 3 weeks of radiation. I am SO thankful and blessed to have this option ๐ Without early detection, I would be going down a much different road.
- Incredibly thankful for another healthy checkup at @mnoncology today. Will never, ever take this for granted ๐๐ซ๐
- Well that was one memorable afternoon. I know it wasnโt all smooth but Iโll work on the rough spots and be better on Sunday. Thank you @Twins @wccoradio @fsnorth for this incredible opportunityโค๏ธ๐
