So I realized I haven't posted in quite some time! A lot of that has to do with blogspot being crazy (I'm moving my other blog to wordpress soon).
I had wanted to post a quick update to how my progress is going...
Nope..I still haven't gotten my tattoos yet. I tried to schedule them a few months ago, but they wanted me to pay $400 What the what? That's apparently my deductible. I cancelled them because I could go to a tattoo parlor for less. (Although I'm still having trouble with the idea of getting a fat bearded man to tattoo nipples for me.)
I happened to see Dr C when I was in clinical a few weeks ago. She said she'd try to work it out to where I didn't have to pay my deductible. We will see!!! More later (and the new blog address to come!)
Based on genetic risks, I decided to have a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy to manage my breast cancer risk. Enjoy reading all of the ups and downs (with a little bit of humor along the way) as I make the biggest decision of my life, which officially earns me the title of PREVIVOR
PREVIVOR: A person who is not diagnosed with cancer, but has survived the predisposition, or higher risk, of cancer due to a genetic mutation and/or strong family history. After being armed with this information, a previvor can make informed choices prior to a cancer diagnosis.
