Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here again. Each year in the United States, an estimated 288,000 women learn they have breast cancer. While many survive, almost 45,000 die annually from the disease.
Upsetting, right?

Christy received her dreaded diagnosis at the age of 38, Sara at age 40. One day we were living our best lives, the next we were fighting for them, navigating a terrifying world of doctor visits, tests, waiting, more tests, and finally, our debilitating cancer treatments. At the same time, we found ourselves thrown into another related world of breast reconstruction.
