My bestie and I went to an I Mom So Hard show in St Louis recently. Sara and I have been fans of Jen and Kristin since they were just starting out. We shared their social media back and forth constantly. The show was hilarious. I actually had to force myself to stop laughing and take some deep breaths during the show! After the show, we were privileged to go backstage for a meet and greet. We shared the story of my cancer journey and upcoming brain surgery. Jen and Kristin advocate for annual mammograms in their podcast and videos so I wanted them to hear MY story – that mammograms do not find cancer in dense breast tissue. I told them about my role as ambassador for My Density Matters and asked them if I could send them more information so they can also advocate for knowing your breast density. And they agreed!
I cannot change my story, but I am working furiously to change the story of other women.
I Mom So Hard is coming to Champaign, IL this fall – my local area. Please go buy tickets today! Here’s the link:

Next, visit My Density Matters and learn how to find your breast density and what screening you need.
Tomorrow (Friday, 4/26) I have brain surgery at 7:30 am at Barnes Hospital in St Louis to obliterate yet another brain tumor. Your prayers are appreciated.
I am not in control. 
Got my annual breast MRI last week (all clear!). I am grateful that you advocate for screening for those with dense breast tissue. I would not have known to advocate for myself without you. Your story sucks, but it matters and is making a difference for others. Much love!
