I started My Left Breast to share the information I learned during my own breast cancer experience with others who have been recently diagnosed. Below is a list of all the posts I’ve written specifically about my breast cancer procedures (diagnosis process, lumpectomy, chemo, bilateral mastectomy, reconstruction) as well as other important info which will be helpful for someone going through a recent breast cancer diagnosis.
NOTE: These are listed from most recent to oldest posts, so if you want to start at the beginning, go to the bottom of the page and move up.
