When a women gets a diagnosis of breast cancer her whole world begins to spin. Especially if she is a mom.

I was diagnosed on October 20, 2020. Dr. Hoffman was my oncologist for 4 years and he ALWAYS made me feel uncomfortable.

There were countless times I wanted to find another dr. but the thought of going thru that process felt incredibly daunting when I just wanted to get it all over with (who knew at the time the real journey starts after surgery & radiation.)

I didn't like the way he spoke to me. He was incredibly condescending. Smug. Pompous. Arrogant. These are some words that come to mind. I found myself answering questions and not elaborating so I didn't have to deal with him. My appointments became a means to an end. Take my blood and continue my prescription on the drug I never wanted to be taking in the first place.

I ALWAYS made Greg come with me and sit in the room with me. How fortunate I had that luxury.

My heart is breaking 💔 to think of all of the women he took advantage of at their most vulnerable moments.

Therapy sessions are often described in terms of the targets we practice.

But over time, I’ve noticed something else: therapy is shaped just as much by what happens between those moments.

Happy Birthday to the best husband, dad & friend we could ever have.

More and more I realize its the little moments that add up to a happy, meaningful life. I have collected so many of these precious memories in my heart ❤️ and my most favorite ones are of you with our children. You have a gentle way of just making us feel safe and loved and we know you would do anything for us.

How lucky are we?

Here's to another year!
