Healing Heels

April 24, 2018brcastrongNo Comments

Going into the YSC summit we had no idea what to expect. It was our first time at the event and while we were so excited, we were a little nervous as well. As we set up our booth, we couldn’t help but notice all the other vendors doing the same. So many different women…

February 2017 I found out I was BRCA1 positive

April 18, 2018brcastrongNo Comments

From February until October last year, I went through the hardest time of my life so far as a 28 year old female as I was processing, accepting, and trying to find validation for my decision to remove perfectly ‘healthy’ parts of my body? How do you explain that? How will people react? It’ll be…

How to Prepare for a Mastectomy by Anna Crollman

April 1, 2018brcastrongNo Comments

There is something about finding a community of strong, beautiful, confident women who can relate to your experience with cancer that makes the journey less isolating and a little less awful. Tracy and I met at the 2018 YSC Summit, both strong women making a difference in the cancer community, we immediately bonded. – Anna Crollman…

Flipping the Script | What Cancer Means to Me by Mackenzie Alleman

March 16, 2018brcastrongNo Comments

First of all – I want to thank Tracy with BRCA Strong for featuring my story! A few weeks after my initial surgery we had connected on Instagram and the support she showed me was wonderful. Jumping into this BRCA world is a hard thing to do, but with the support of strong women it’s…

The CanSurvivor by Kelsey Smith

March 12, 2018brcastrongNo Comments

“Tracy and I met at the 2018 Young Survival Coalition Summit in Orlando, Florida. At the time, she was modeling at the Anita booth, fitting women into the most amazing mastectomy sports bra I’ve ever worn. She opened my eyes up to options I didn’t know existed, and we’ve become fast friends since!”  — Kelsey…

With or Without Nipples, We Are Still Feminine!

March 8, 2018brcastrongNo Comments

Breasts, the most apparent and supposedly “defining” feature of a woman & femininity. Some women think theirs are too small, others think theirs are too big. But imagine having breasts (whether you thought they were too small or too big) then having to remove the majority (if not all) of your healthy breast tissue to…

Soul on Fire

March 2, 2018brcastrongNo Comments

Finding the confidence to do this boudoir shoot was challenging. This was the most challenging experience of my life and totally outside the box to do this boudoir shoot. I’m barely getting used to my new body and feeling 100 percent in it. However, throughout the photo shoot with each picture taken I could feel…

Intimacy as a Previvor

February 14, 2018brcastrongNo Comments

Oophorectomy is a procedure when a woman’s ovaries are removed. In my case, I have the BRCA gene mutation, so my ovaries were removed to reduce the risk of developing ovarian and breast cancer. Although removing my ovaries reduced the risk of cancer, there are some effects that I had to consider. One of those…

boobversary

December 28, 2017brcastrongNo Comments

My two-year #boobversary is fast approaching. In celebration, I have chosen to share my experiences as a Previvor. This day deserves to be celebrated and remembered as the day I made the hardest decision of my life. On this day, after being diagnosed with the BRCA gene and waiting 13 years under surveillance, I decided…

Finding Love Again as a Previvor

October 20, 2017brcastrongNo Comments

Getting a divorce is hard. It’s a loss and just like all losses we need time to grieve and come to terms by accepting our new lives. However, going through a divorce as Previvor seems extremely more unnerving than any typical divorce. For me, it seems more difficult because my husband has been with me…
