We Really Believe That Whatever We Put

One Of My First Thoughts I Had When I Started Considering The Mastectomy Was, 'what Am I Going To Look Like?' And Then, 'what Will My Husband Think?

You've Got To Be Good To Each Other ... It Really Comes Back To Respect. I Was Raised In A Very Catholic, Italian Family And It Was All About Respect. Don't Talk Badly About [your Partner] The Second They Walk Out The Door; Really Preserve Your Relationship And Be Good To Each Other. Treat It Like Gold.

Through My Attempt To Get Pregnant Through Ivf, We Sadly Found Out That I Have Early Stages Of Breast Cancer. It's Been A Shock.

I Started Realizing I Could Be An Example For Women To Not Just Be Aware Of Breast Cancer But To Act On It. To Make An Appointment, To Give Themselves An Exam.

For Me It Was Just More Important To Get The Cancer Out. With The Double Mastectomy I Now Have Less Than One Per Cent Chance Of Getting It Back, Otherwise It Was 20, 30 Or 40 Per Cent Chance And For Me It Wasn't Worth It.
