It was my husband who encouraged me to get it checked out immediately. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer and forced to process this dreadful news, I reached out to family and friends for support.\u00a0 Almost immediately, one person after another recommended Wellspring to me.\u00a0 I did some research online and saw all the wonderful programs and support they offer, so I decided to take full advantage.\u00a0 I figured I needed all the help I could get at that point.\u00a0 I drove down to the Chinguacousy office one day, in shock from everything that I was about to face.\u00a0 I registered and met Alex.\u00a0 I broke down in his office, telling him everything.\u00a0 He was so comforting and understanding, reassuring me this was the place to get the support I needed.<\/p>\n<p>I was originally told I would need a lumpectomy because the biopsy showed a fairly large tumour on my right breast, but after having an MRI, they discovered 2 tumours and a concerning cyst all within the same \u201cquadrant\u201d of my breast. So instead, I would need a mastectomy.\u00a0 They called it \u201cmulti-focal\u201d or \u201cmulti-centric\u201d disease.\u00a0 DCIS and IDC in my right breast.<\/p>\n<p>If that wasn\u2019t shocking enough, the MRI detected a \u201cconcerning mass\u201d in my left breast that would need to be monitored for the rest of my life!\u00a0 \u201cWhat???\u00a0 Seriously???\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After riding a rickety roller coaster of emotions for a few weeks, I decided on a bilateral mastectomy. Surgery day was August 23. I would be released the next day on August 24th &#8211; my dad\u2019s birthday. \ud83e\udebd<\/p>\n<p>It has probably been said a thousand times, but I honestly do not think I could&#8217;ve survived the summer of 2023 without Wellspring and their absolutely amazing support groups and counselling services.<\/p>\n<p>Before and after my bilateral mastectomy, I took advantage of Wellsprings&#8217; online classes including support groups, Nutrition and Wellness Classes, and Meditation classes, just to name a few.\u00a0 I still keep in touch with some of the wonderful women I met in the support groups.<\/p>\n<p>However, one thing that I cannot emphasize enough is for people to take advantage of the 3 complimentary therapy sessions Wellspring offered to me with a professional counsellor.\u00a0 If it had not been for this service and the amazing, compassionate counsellor that I spoke to, I honestly don&#8217;t think I could&#8217;ve gotten through those terrible weeks, let alone the double mastectomy.<\/p>\n<p>The therapist helped me navigate and digest all that I was about to face, explaining medical terms I had never heard of before, breaking down what to expect at doctors\u2019 appointments and upcoming tests.\u00a0 But most importantly, the therapist calmed my anxiety and fears that naturally occur after receiving a cancer diagnosis. Her perspective and experience on cancer treatments and procedures in Ontario, reassured me that everything happening, was on the right track. She was there for me as I prepared both physically and mentally, for my double mastectomy. Realizing that what I was about to face was in fact an \u201camputation,\u201d she gave me the opportunity to mourn and grieve what I was about to lose.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m tearing up just writing about this because she was such a calming and comforting voice in all the chaos that had become my life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And, this was all free of charge!\u00a0\u00a0 A service that is available only because Wellspring exists.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I didn&#8217;t need to have chemo or radiation, but went straight to hormone blockers.\u00a0 I have been recovering well since then and have made significant lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n<p>I will forever be grateful that Wellspring exists, and that this organization was there for me during the most difficult time of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for allowing me to share my story.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9012\" title=\"Isa 50th birthday\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/chinguacousy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2024\/04\/Isa-50th-birthday-194x300.jpg\" alt=\"Isa 50th birthday\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/chinguacousy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2024\/04\/Isa-50th-birthday-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/chinguacousy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2024\/04\/Isa-50th-birthday.jpg 414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9015\" title=\"Isa and Husband\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/chinguacousy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2024\/04\/Isa-and-Husband-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"Isa and Husband\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/chinguacousy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2024\/04\/Isa-and-Husband-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/chinguacousy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2024\/04\/Isa-and-Husband.jpg 485w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I remember thinking on January 1st, 2023 ~ this is going to be my year!!
