“You have cancer.” have become 3 of the most terrifying words in today’s society.

My personal experience with both a knee injury and then cancer, led me to a deeper understanding of what it is like to be in your shoes when your body isn’t working because of debilitating illness or injury. The reality is most of us will face a health scare, injury, or a time when our body isn’t working the way we want it to.

You could be:

• A desk dweller in desperate need of posture rehab.
• Living with pain day in and day out, feeling as if you’re missing out on life.
• Done with physical therapy and still not back to where you were before the injury.
• A person who feels sluggish all the time because you literally hate exercise.
• And yes, you could be the courageous survivor working through treatment and recovering from cancer.

In the blink of an eye, everything shifted.

Two days after that best physical of my life, I had a routine mammogram that discovered not one, not two, but three small spots of concern.

In the days and weeks that followed I had an ultrasound, breast MRI, and biopsy to confirm my diagnosis. The MRI stated a 95% chance of malignancy.

I acknowledge I was a weird patient because I had been working for the past decade with breast cancer survivors. I knew my options. So when I saw my breast surgeon for the biopsy, I already had a plan in mind. As she was preparing to do the biopsy, I said, “I am sure people who know too much can be a pain in the behind! That said, I decided a long time ago, if I was ever faced with this, I’m taking them off and getting an upgrade.”

She laughed and said let’s confirm what we are looking at, while at the same time conceding that the MRI was not a pretty one.

Four days later we had the flavor of the tumors and I was off to the Plastic Surgeon to finalize the plan.

Over the next couple years, I worked with my doctors to get the treatment I needed, that also worked with my body.
