Today I underwent a wire-directed segmental resection (basically a lumpectomy) of flat epithelial atypia in my breast (i.e. potentially pre-cancerous cells).

Normally I'm a very private person... But in honor of , a belated , and as I still mourn the recent passing of my beloved young friend, from her battle with breast cancer, the timing of this post just seems so fitting. I would really like to highlight the importance of cancer screenings. Early detection and treatment saves lives.

Through an MRI-guided, vacuum assisted, core biopsy in late 2023, the atypical cells were found in my left breast. After having a conversation with my surgeon, and maybe due to the fact that I work with so many , I decided to have them removed. What each person decides to do for their treatment is their own personal choice and should be respected, but having as much information as possible before making a decision is so very important.

I am so grateful to have an incredible surgeon like and to have received such excellent care at . Now I wait for the final pathology report 🤞 I am feeling great so far but I will be out of commission for a while due to my lifting restrictions. I promise I will be a good patient, Dr. Khan 😅

If you've been putting off your screening, please consider this a sign to go now 🩷
