This doctor was going to do a biopsy of the right breast, and I thought well, if I had cancer in my breast do I just have them cut them off both at the same time on the table, or do I wait and get a lumpectomy, or what do I do? And then my partner had said well just deal with one breast at a time. And so he said just have this one removed, then make a decision afterwards. You don't have make the decision at one time. Whereas my mother who came to visit said if they find the cancer in the right breast, just have them cut them off at the same time. And I thought, boy, my breasts have been sexual pleasures for me. I didn't know what to do about that. So I thought about it and I said well, I'll just wait. And my partner and I had sort of like a ceremony the night before I had my surgery for the left breast to be removed and kind of said a prayer for it. |
