💯Man, this is so crazy yo!!💯 I've been waiting for this date for over a year. November 3, 2020, will be like a rebirth for me physically. Like, I am actually excited, nervous, anxious, etc. I mean this is one of the biggest surgeries I have ever had. I mean the mastectomy was a huge deal, but this is Breast DIEP Flap surgery; DIEP stands for Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator. With the DIEP Flap surgery the lower abdominal skin and fat is removed without having to harvest any of the rectus abdominis muscle. Then, with the skin and fat from my stomach the plastic surgeons will reconstruct me a new breast, and perform a lift on the other breast to make them even. Oh and I will be having my stomach muscles tightened up and hernia removed as well. I won't have a bellybutton, but my plastic surgeon says he can make me a pretty one a later date!!! I can't lie ya girl is LIT ASF about getting this surgery done, but more...
Take a journey with me thru my ups and downs of dealing with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, mental health issues (anxiety, depression, and PTSD), and how survivorship/remission has changed me. I am here to engage, educate, uplift, and help anyone that I can this includes, cancer patients, their caregivers, and the survivors.
