    Moving Forward

    October 29, 2018

    By: By: Steve Del Gardo Director/Founder of Protect The Pecs www.protectthepecs.org It has been a few months since I written a blog for BullshitCancer because I started a new business venture called Del Gardo’s Taste A New Tradition. It is a cannoli business offering up to 40 different flavors. My time has been consumed in making and creating cannoli everyday…

    Life As a Flat Woman

    August 1, 2018

    I love having no breasts! 5 words that I never in all my 56 years thought that I’d think, let alone put down on paper.

    The Pitfalls of Dating After Cancer

    June 19, 2018

      By: Steve Del Gardo Dating after cancer? As one man to another, one breast cancer survivor to another, let me tell you: It’s been awful. After my cancer journey was over, I waited three years to get back in the game, because I was taking Tamoxifen and it had several side effects that wouldn’t work well with dating. You…

    April 15, 2018

    By: Kinsey I don’t remember the first time my mom had a lumpectomy, because I was only 6 weeks old.  It’s so hard to wrap my head around that because she was only 5 years older than I am right now.  She was only 20 years old and had a brand new baby.  Can anyone really wrap their head around…

    What Does Community Look Like To Us…

    April 10, 2018

    Sometimes circumstances call for you to have a conversation you NEVER wanted to have, and truthfully, if everyone treated everyone else they way they would like to be treated, these types of conversation would never come up. When we set out on creating a website to tell our truths surrounding our experiences, we never envisioned other women wanting to use…

    Debunking the Myths and Fears of Lymphedema

    April 2, 2018

    By: Jenni Rai, PT, CLT When I initially began working with women who had breast cancer, I was often the first person to mention “lymphedema” to them. This was in 2005, and at the time we Physical Therapists and Certified Lymphedema Therapists (at least the ones I worked with) perceived breast surgeons to find lymphedema insulting. A sort of, “I…

    Ugliness of the Pink Ribbon

    March 31, 2018

    By Lora Harvey As all the air left my lungs, time stood still on June 15, 2017. And I seemingly forgot how to breathe. Only when my respiratory system took over again did I inhale.In that split second, my life began dismantling. Microscopic cracks at first, but those compound and quickly become unnegotiable divides. I was never the girl that…

    We Belong To One Another

    March 29, 2018

    Mia’s bilateral mastectomy was in 2007, and mine was in 2010.  Numerous times since then, we’ve both had people say to us, “Can’t you just get over it?”, and other similar comments.  We know there are women both in treatment and post-treatment that hear these same words every single day.  And we also know words like that can cause a…

    HEALING THE WHOLE WOMAN

    March 27, 2018

    One can’t imagine the stigma, loneliness, pain and sometimes embarrassment that comes with cutting off your breasts. Women are “known” for their breasts – after all that’s what makes a woman beautiful and voluptuous, right?! So losing them can be a major blow to one’s heart and soul. There isn’t much, if any, information out there on how to heal…

    THE GRACE PROJECT AND HEALING MY SOUL

    March 22, 2018

      By: Mia Curtiss A few years back I was asked to participate in “The Grace Project” in Chicago. After a comedy of errors it never happened. God knew far better than me I was by no means ready to pose topless without my breasts. Fast forward two years later the opportunity presents itself again and although I’m extremely uncomfortable…
