Bad Right Breast

Meet Pam.  Pam and I are friends.  Pam and I have been friends since 2013.  EXCEPT, when we realized as we prepared to talk over zoom, that we have no mutual friends.  We have no similar places or organizations in our past, have no common friends in places we’ve lived.  Freaky right?  Well it would be, if we just did like each other so much.

Growing up with a mom that is an identical twin, well, it’s never dull.  Even though they have lived apart by thousands of miles, my entire life, there are still times, even now in their 70’s, in which they still do their ‘twin’ thing.  And know that I’ve started documenting these moments as they occur with my own identical twins.  Can you say genetic?  Well, not our cancer.  Listen to my Aunt Kathleen, share her story.

With any life altering event, there’s always a before and an after.  And the ‘after’ becomes just normal life.  But when that life altering event is a tragedy of sorts, the ‘after’ becomes your ‘new normal.’ No one CHOOSES cancer.  This is our new normal, because we didn’t choose it.  It happened to us.  But it’s in the after that we do choose how we let it affect us, and how we affect others.  

As we close out 2020, I want to take time in this week’s episode to simply say thanks.  So many others lived through more hardships, tragedies and losses, this year than I think any other year.  And to add the effects of a pandemic on top of that?  Just like cancer, the pandemic affects everyone.  

So goodbye to 2020.  And hello 2021.  We welcome you with open arms.

All my life I thought that if I had cancer, it would be because of my mom’s side of the family.  But having to do the genetic research for testing, I realized that my dad’s side would be the culprit.  Just goes to show you, that you should take the time during this holiday season and sit down on ZOOM to discuss it with your family as much as you can.

There are some things that we want to keep secret from our kids – Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny.  Just some things to keep them ‘kids’ for as long as possible.  But there are some things that you just can’t keep secret.  Or can you?  Just as with everything else with cancer, the experience of telling your kids is unique to you.  That we all tell our stories in our own ways, and once again how they react to it, also so incredibly different.

It’s taken me YEARS to understand the stages of cancer, and yet I still don’t.  While I had to wait until after my bilateral mastectomy to find out my stage of cancer, I’ve known others to find out prior to any surgery, by just looking at scans, or even the biopsy pathology results.  No matter when you find out, the process to get to that moment, will most likely go through a pathologist, and that pathologist will converse directly with your doctor, who will than translate the report to you.  Hear our incredible 15 women each share their stage of cancer, and then Dr. Breast herself breaks down my own pathology report.

What happens when you refuse to allow cancer to disrupt your life, and you plow through it all – diagnosis, treatment and recovery?  Well, it sometimes takes beating cancer to realize, maybe you should slow it down a bit.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, a time when we need to thank everyone who came to us, our families and friends, when we needed it most.  Our brave 15 once again, tell us how difficult, and sometimes very easy, it was (still is) to simply ask for help.

When you have no symptoms of cancer and a routine mammogram changes your life in a matter of minutes, there’s not much to do but dive right in.  Catherine was forced to deal with the unexpected in a matter of minutes, and found support in women who came before her.
