Chhavi wrote, “My first reaction to being diagnosed was… ok…. This is a problem.. let’s find the solution. I did some research, spoke to Breast cancer survivors, multiple breast cancer specialists, plastic surgeons, other doctors etc and weighed my options. Zeroed in on the surgeon who’s as positive as me and decided a course of action. For all my fellow BC warriors, it’s unfortunate. It is already a physical struggle, don’t let it be a defeated emotional battle too. And for those of you who are sending me prayers, please keep them coming. I’m reading all messages and absorbing your energies.”
