I've Lost My Breast but Not My Smile

November 11, 2013, today is the big day, oh boy. It was weird because I wasn't nervous, I didn't cry, or have any negative thoughts, I was ready. I had my team with me and it was huge. The office was extremely busy this morning and of course they got a little behind. As I entered the operating room, my team was ready and so was I. All I remember from that point on was counting down from ten and then I woke-up in the recovery room. My surgery was for five hours but it felt like five minutes. I had both of my breast removed and twenty lymph nodes removed from my left armpit. I looked around and I said, I made it. Now it was time to heal and I smiled.
