Intro/Welcome/WTF?
I have a BRCA 1 genetic mutation (aka "The Breast Cancer Gene") that puts me at a high risk for breast and ovarian cancer. I inherited the gene from my mother, who died of ovarian cancer at the age of 52.
I'm 29 years old. I do not have cancer. I don't want to have cancer. So I'm doing everything I can, including a double mastectomy, to prevent it before it even starts. I'm having my surgery on November 12.
For more information about BRCA, visit the FORCE website.

Avery - that's great! I was so happy to see you wave your arms around. I suspect you're still on some pretty gud drugs so that might be a factor. When you said you could move your legs around I thought I should come and bring you some springs to snap onto your hospital bed ;-)
ReplyDeleteI should come and see you on the weekend or Friday (I'll email Ian) to see if you want any bands or springs or whatever...you never know. I can be very resourceful. If you can do leg spring sort of stuff lying down it will keep that lower back strong and then the walking around bent over won't hurt your back so much.
Take care - you're doing great!

Hey Ave!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your voice and know that things are on the up and up... you're a strong lady!!! Look at you waving your hands in the air and stuff! :) I wish I could come and say hi and play scrabble with you, but in the meantime I'll just have to send you telepathic hugs and let you know I'm thinking about you. Lots and lots of love,
Vanessa~*
