Welcome to our group.

We wish you didn't meet the qualifications to join - cancer diagnosis. But you are here, and we are happy to meet you!

May you have an easy time with your double mastectomy.
Did you check into reconstruction options?

You'll be going through chemo (bummer) and Herceptin (not so bad) after your double mastectomy.

Where you offered participation in a clinical trial? Please check into it. You can check clinicaltrials.gov or you can contact the American Cancer Society.

Because of your youth, and your youngsters - I want you to have every advantage.

Since you have 4 weeks to wait for surgery anyway, a second opinion is advisable. It helps to know all your options by meeting with other surgeons and oncologist.

We are happy to support you through your challenges and triumphs with cancer treatment.

Welcome and best wishes for a return to good health.
