Hey Megan. The procedure itself has been minimally "trying"... I would much rather undergo surgery than be faced with cancer. However, beyond the procedure itself, the most trying part was explaining to close family/friends why I was doing this. Awareness is everything & I'm thankful that many family with the same genetic predisposition to breast cancer have begun the process now... This procedure is 100% worth it; even if I do develop breast cancer one day, at least I can say I did my best to try to prevent it.

You certainly did, and you took a very brave & proactive approach to doing so!
That is wonderful you found such a caring doctor. Heading to the parking lot to check on you is definitely going the extra mile. Isn't it amazing how something that probably took him 10 minutes showed you his level of care? So glad you received that!
As for the procedure itself, do you mind me asking what you felt was the most trying part?
