“After looking at all the treatment plans available to me… I had a prophylactic double mastectomy.” “I didn’t want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything. I just wanted to kind of be rid of this whole thing for me.” “This was the choice that I made, and it was a tough one.”“Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I scream.” “It’s all part of healing… it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to fall on the ground and just scream if you want to.”
