13. Breast Cancer Surgery Side Effects: Permanent Skin Numbness
Yesterday marked six months since my breast cancer surgery, which included a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. In the initial two months post-surgery, I had frequent follow-ups to monitor the healing progress of the skin on my left breast and the implant. During the surgery, I opted for a nerve grafting procedure, an additional cost not covered by my insurance. Despite anticipating the insurance denial for the nerve grafting, I proceeded with the surgery. Fast forward to my six-month follow-up, and the doctor gently poked my left breast, asking if I felt anything. Unfortunately, I felt nothing in...

12. Six Month Anniversary of Breast Cancer Surgery
This point in time is a major milestone for me. It has been 6 months since I had a left mastectomy. A year ago I never knew this was how I would tell my life’s story now. I recently went through a lengthy process of multiple screenings and biopsies before getting the cancer diagnosis and finally, having surgery to remove the cancer - the mastectomy. Throughout this entire journey, there have been times when I needed to look beyond my health care providers to find information regarding treatment and future care options. This episode features my stories of...

50. Nurse as the Patient: The Morning After Surgery
It was just over 12 hours after leaving the OR when I recorded this episode. I had a mastectomy the day before. I had a very short night of sleep and I was still wobbly when I got up in the morning. I had a pretty good memory of getting ready to be wheeled to the OR, being in recovery, and being awakened by the plastic surgeon before 7am on post op day 1. It was a completely novel experience, as is the journey ahead, as I navigate breast cancer life. This is my patient experience, on the flip-side of healthcare. ...
