Angie Mack Reilly went in for her first ever mammogram at the age of 42. It was then that she learned that she had breast cancer. Angie underwent a bilateral mastectomy shortly after.
“If there is any message that I can convey on the subject, it would be that the PTSD, financial devastation and grief over losing a huge part of oneself is very real during the aftermath. I still struggle and have not been able to find adequate help during these past 6 years. The emotional pain does not go away once the cancer is gone. Self care is vital.” –Angie
