Katy’s Story

Site created on December 5, 2020

Welcome to my CaringBridge website. I am using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer on  December 2nd, and I'm having a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction on December 22nd. I appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Journal entry by Katy Richards

Hi everyone-
Good news! The pathology report came back and they got clean margins and there's no sign of cancer in my lymph nodes. I felt good enough after that phone call to put on makeup and take a selfie! Checkup on Wednesday with my plastic surgeon- I doubt I'll get the drains removed yet (sad face), but I think the dressings come off of the incisions. We shall see. I love you all. 

Best, 
Katy
