1st Breast MRI Imaging since Mastectomy

No MRIs. No clarity. Just waiting. Magnetic expanders made imaging impossible, and I waited—post-op swelling masking what my instincts screamed might still be there.Then came Halloween. The MRI finally happened—and the fear was confirmed: ILC recurrence in my left breast skin. Same spot. Same battle. Another surgery.I was right all along. They missed it. I didn’t. My friend research team and I shifted gears—doubling down on non-toxic alternatives. The doctors continued to push radiation on me, hard. I nodded, outwardly agreeable—but inside, hell no!I chose my own path. I honored MY boundaries. And through it all, my resolve never cracked.
