After waiting a week for my breast biopsy results, I decided to call the Breast Center. The medical staff member confirmed that they had received the results earlier that day. When she said the words, “Good news, they didn’t detect any cancer,” I jumped up and down my chair with excitement. She continued that I […]
Due to the pandemic, many of us haven’t been feeling 100%. Michelle Obama, in her podcast, even spoke about having “low-grade depression.” I am glad that a highly-visible person spoke up.
