Having a breast cancer diagnosis knocks the wind from your sail. Having my mother, her non-identical twin sister both with breast cancer and the other sister with terminal ovarian cancer gave me the determination to prayerfully decide to have bilateral mastectomy after DCIS diagnosis. Blessed with early diagnosis helped me dodge chemotherapy or radiation. My appearance was important to my recovery and I opted for reconstructive surgery 2010. After being told by 5 physicians to follow through with hysterectomy since it is the same cancer to attack the ovaries, I followed their advice and am so thankful to have been able too. I thank God for his wisdom and healing.
