I did it!!! And you can too!

I am sitting in my hospital bed with so much gratitude. Today I had my prophylactic DMX. I found out 8 years ago and have done mammograms/MRIs each year. My youngest child is now 2 and I felt like it was time. I’m 36. My pain is well controlled, I’m watching tv and eating a graham cracker and I just wanted to thank everyone who posts here, shares their stories, selflessly provides “TMI” details because it gave me comfort to read so many of your posts. And those who are considering, scheduled or in the trenches, I see you, I’m here with you and you can do this! 💗

Mastectomy in 6 days— what do I need to order on Amazon?

Last min shopping to keep my mind quiet. I have wedge pillows, 2 tanks with pockets for drains, shower drain holder, ice packs, spray deodorant, dry shampoo, button front pjs and zip up sweatshirts. I will have expanders. Staying overnight one night at the hospital and have a blanket to take with me. What else am I missing? ❤️
