In this video I share my personal breast cancer journey from the beginning up to my surgery and recovery--the many years of scans, two years of debating about surgery and my final breast surgery plan. This video was shot just before my mastectomy and is meant only as a support to other women and not as any kind of medical advice. We all have our own characteristics and priorities--mine are necessarily different from yours, and that's a good thing. This is part one of a new series on my breast cancer journey. Stay tuned for more organic gardening after that!
