I FINALLY have a date for my surgery!!
✨
In case you didn’t already know, I tested positive for the BRCA1 gene 2 years ago. It actually didn’t come as a big shock since I already assumed I had it due to most of the women in my family having died from breast or uterine cancer. So when my test results came back, solidifying that I had it, I immediately knew I wanted to get everything removed.

I’ve already had a partial hysterectomy in October 2019 and I originally planned to have my double mastectomy and reconstruction done last June, but of course COVID changed that. It has been a looooonng wait but they were finally able get me in! It feels good to finally have a date set for it.

I will be posting about this over the next few months so feel free to unfollow if you don’t want to hear about it. I know it’s a huge step away from bookstagram, but I haven’t used my personal account in years and I have so many wonderful friends through this one that I felt it right to tell my journey through here.
✨
I plan to be completely open about this process and welcome any and all questions or messages so feel free to send them to me if you have any!
