Surgery Set
We finally have a date set for my surgery...Tuesday, December 9th is the day. I will stay overnight in the hospital but will be home Wednesday. I will have a double mastectomy followed by the first stage of the reconstruction. I feel like we have been in a holding pattern but now we have a plan and I feel like I can begin to move forward. I can at least plan out December and part of January. Chemotherapy will not begin for 4-5 weeks after surgery. My mother plans on coming for the surgery and will stay for at least a week. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. We plan on heading out to Stockton tomorrow if we can get organized!

Thank you for sharing all this with us. We'll be thinking about you and wishing for a speedy recovery!
I have been collecting yoplait lids for the last few months as Breast Cancer runs in my family. Maybe it makes just a small difference.
Hope to see you again soon,

Dear Dawn,
Thank you for letting your My Gym customers know about your diagnosis and progress. My mom, who sometimes takes the kids to My Gym, is a BC survivor from way back.
Your team is great and I know they will do a wonderful job in your absence so you can focus on family and healing. You and they have brought so much joy to Hope and Gabriel, and we are so thankful! We will be praying for you and your medical team on the 9th.
Best,
Kim Acosta
