'As I’ve gradually gotten more removed from the experience, I’ve also gotten to a point where I can accept the fact that, yes, my cancer could come back. But I’m not going to let that stifle what I do with my life.'
to remove both of my breasts, which I did in January 2012. I also had an oophorectomy to remove both ovaries and a hysterectomy to remove my uterus. After the mastectomy and before the oophorectomy, on February 14, 2012, I had a meeting with my oncologist. He told me that tests on the tissue removed from my breast and checks made during surgery found no evidence of cancer. I was officially cancer-free.
Thankfully, that was nearly eight years ago. As I’ve gradually gotten more removed from the experience, I’ve also gotten to a point where I can accept the fact that, yes, my cancer could come back. But I’m not going to let that stifle what I do with my life. You can let the fear swallow you whole, or you can be the one who swallows the fear.
Jake helped me a lot with this. With all of it, actually. He’s been a tattoo artist for 20 years, so he was never afraid of the drains coming out of my sides after my mastectomy and things like that. But I carried a lot of guilt when we started dating. I was like, “Why would you want to get in a relationship with me if I’m going to leave you?” He’s helped me to be a little more like him in that he taught me to live in the moment and just go for it.
