For those who dont know: My wife Tess is a breast cancer survivor. She also has a genetic PTEN mutation. Tess didnt bat an eye when she was told she needed a full mastectomy. Multiple people asked her if she was trans or gay.

My daughter and I went to the mastectomy shop to buy a special bra (with a sewn-in pocket to hold a prosthesis).
Bra was $55. Prosthesis was $500.
BC Pharmacare coverage reimbursed me $450.🇨🇦
Thank you Canada (or what some Americans call 'the commie pinko land of socialized medicine)😍

A year ago today, around this time, I was recovering from a unilateral mastectomy at MSK Josie Robertson where they treated me like a queen. Thank you #MSK.

I had had a recurrence of #breastcancer first diagnosed in 2001. It returned with a vengeance.

PLEASE get a mammogram

My mom is 72. She's just had dbl mastectomy & waiting for a 2nd knee replacement, which got bumped bc #breastcancer is a bitch.

Covid or Flu or RSV will kill her. Dead.

Telehealth allows her safe medical appts.

Never in my wildest dreams or nightmares would I have imagined being so profoundly grateful to have been diagnosed & treated for #breastcancer under one president rather than another. A new technique approved last June made my 2024 mastectomy a LOT easier than the 2023 one.
DT is killing people.
From a source inside the National Cancer Institute:

“Everyone is scrambling to figure out how we’re supposed to work to serve the public when we can’t engage at all.”

Posted Feb. 14, 2013, eve of double mastectomy. Sense of humor can be life-sustaining or at least alleviate some fear. Feb. 15, 2025, will mark 12 years of being #breastcancer survivor. (Scheduled surgery in mid-February to miss no more than two #ladyvols games and be cleared to cover SEC tourney.)
