So glad you had the courage and wisdom to make the right decision on a very difficult call. It’s good to hear that after a very tough year you are starting to feel like your old self again! Hope it’s nothing but roses from here on out.

Wow Suzanne, what a year. Unless someone has been through something like this, it is impossible to understand everything that you’ve gone through. We just can’t.

I am so grateful that you, Susie Lindau and Christine MacKenzie have spoken out about your personal experience with this dreadful illness. It’s horrible to have your body torn apart. You must be exhausted.

So glad that you’re feeling better. Hang in there and keep on keeping on. You’re an inspiration to us all! 🙂

Has it been a year already? Wow, I remember the car ride to Tahoe when you were still dealing with the “should I,” or “shouldn’t I” question. It was a tough weekend for you, I remember how much you appreciated having the camaraderie of women to help ease the angst.

I’m so glad everything worked out okay for you and that it was the best decision in the long run.

You’ve got this. You are a mighty warrior.

In reply to Constance Cedras. Thanks, Connie. That was my intention. I wish I'd found something like this before my mastectomy. It wouldn't have changed my mind, but it might've better prepared me. Thanks for stopping by.

Suzanne, this is like a primer on everything a patient should do to research and prepare for a major medical decision. I’m so pleased for you that you’ve come through this very difficult year with wisdom and restored health.

You know, I think “one tough Chicago chick” fits you perfectly! You go, friend!
