Guess what? I’m 5 weeks post op breast explant and feeling really good. I get waives of needing rest but overall I’ve had so much energy!

I haven’t had a single migraine, gallbladder attack or a day of joint pain.

I can breathe deeply for what feels like the first time.

My anxiety? Gone.
Brain fog? Gone.
Overwhelming sense of deterioration? Gone.
Gut issues? No evidence of them now.
Sinus pressure? Not in 5 weeks (it was daily)

I am SLEEPING. DREAMING!!! And waking feeling—rested?! Even with two kids elbowing me through the night.

I am made new, whole and thankful!
I can’t wait to see if my Lyme goes into remission, to see if my heart, kidneys and liver heal.

I feel like it’s all possible now.

I find myself dreaming again, getting more creative and feeling energized for the future.

Before explant everyday was hard. The mental fortitude it took to push forward everyday was existing—but now it feels…easy?

Very weird.

I still haven’t healed fully but I’m one week away from being out of this torture chamber (compression bra) and I can’t wait to try on and find what suits the new me.

I still haven’t gone through my closet although I already know a LOT won’t fit. I’ve got about 100 bikinis who are gonna need a new home 😂

I’m so grateful Dr. Rankin for helping me fall in love with me again. Everyday I feel a little bit more of my “pink” returning…..more in comments ⬇️

A little red, white, and Rankin ❤️🤍💙

Posting this on the 5th because the fun, the family, and the fireworks deserved an extra day. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

I saw two people climb the Empire State Building with a banner and thought… well, that’s one way to get a message across.

So naturally, I had to make my own version — scrubs, helicopters, dramatic skyline and all.

No trespassing.
No arrests.
No NYPD helicopter.
Just a message I’ve believed for years:

The Heal is Real.

To every woman searching for answers, listening to her body, and taking the next step in her explant journey — I see you.

And while I won’t be climbing any skyscrapers anytime soon, I will keep standing tall for the women who deserve to be heard.

Winding down the month of June with full hearts and so much gratitude.

Every review, every message, and every shared story means more than we can put into words. It is an honor to care for women through such an important and personal journey.

Thank you to our incredible patients for trusting my team and me. Your words remind us why we do what we do every single day.

Grateful for June. Grateful for our incredible patients.
