Remembering our why.
Breast cancer at 31,
melanoma at 32, ovarian
cancer at 35. Off to heaven a few days past her 38th birthday.
Kindness, books, gardening, chow mein, chocolate covered caramels, and an
occasional martini. these
were a few of her favorite things. #BRCA

@thelastuid I had this in one arm and both legs during treatment. Doctors first had me on Lasix. Little change. Then, switched me to Torsemide. 3 days in, the water retention was 90% reduced. Reduced salt to almost none, allowed 66 ounces of water daily. Discuss options with your team. 💖

Feeling like a whole person after a mastectomy is important. DIEP Flap reconstruction surgery offers a natural look & feel, but due to a coding issue, the surgery is AT RISK of not being covered by health insurers. Help us make a change!❌😨#BeAFORCEofChange
