Amazing people
I guess we're not aware of what we are capable of until we have to do something. My job allows me to meet some amazing people. Today I met a young woman who's family tree had a history of breast cancer so she decided to have a double mastectomy because of her increased risk of getting cancer by the time she reached 40. What a decision to be faced with. Honesty, the other day I went back and forth about getting a flu shot because I hate needles. It took 12 hours to remove her breasts and then reconstruct them with skin and fat from her stomach. It's been seven months now and she's doing great. Before, she had an 85% chance of getting cancer, now, her chances are 1%. She had to make an optional, life changing decision. I've decided she's another amazing person I've been lucky enough to meet.
