I appreciate the line thinking on what I might be willing to give up instead of breasts. Not long after diagnosis I concluded that my breasts at this point in my life are mostly decorative and that I’d be okay if the final recommendation was that they had to go.
I do realize this is not exactly to your point, and yet: I wanted to thank you and note the strangely felicitous timing. I’m in Messina, Sicily, this month. I’ll have to keep an eye out for any straggling pastries. (I know the feast day was last weekend, but sometimes pastries spill over.)
You sure do pack some heavy reads for your vacation trips. I can empathize, having decided to read Moby Dick, which I’d found , a well worn copy in a bargain bin at a small bookshop in a small town in Ireland. Just filling gaps in my literacy, though on the minus side it was a distraction from what I had come a long way to experience. Have fun in PR.

Sometimes, when desire hits, ya gotta go with the flow.

Beautiful, Martha.
I'm inspired to try to get my mitts on a copy of Audre Lorde's Cancer Journals.
