It is a privilege to be your mastectomy planner and trusted member of your support squad during this deeply difficult and personal time.
I want you to know you are not alone. And if you're an early-stager, I see you. I, too, have walked this path, faced similar fears, uncertainties, and challenges that followed my own
breast cancer journey.
That’s why I created Plan Your Mastectomy– to inspire and empower you to take responsibility for your treatment journey from the very beginning so you too can experience the freedom needed to heal with the support of someone who's paved
her own road to recovery.
Our planner is designed to alleviate anxiety instantly by breaking down your mastectomy preparation into manageable steps. Focusing on the critical areas of life that matter most to you. Instead of sifting through overwhelming information on your own, you’ll have clear action steps to help organize and manage everything in one place without confusion or overwhelm.
Yes. This planner is specifically designed for individuals who have already chosen to undergo a mastectomy. While it contains helpful insights that might benefit anyone in treatment, the step-by-step planning, checklists, and resources are all tailored to the unique needs and preparations of a confirmed mastectomy journey.
A big support system is a fantastic first step—but without the proper tools and knowledge, it can still feel overwhelming. Providing at home care, managing wound dressings, drains and medications, coordinating appointments, and taking on transportation can be taxing and all-consuming. Our planner breaks down each responsibility and offers real solutions. Your support system will appreciate having a clear plan that manages treatment and recovery with complete clarity.
Financial strain is one of the biggest stressors in the cancer journey. Our planner walks you through how to identify financial threats, fundraising options, and creating an emergency fund. By proactively planning your finances, you can lessen the anxiety of unexpected bills and focus more energy on your healing.
While free resources can be helpful, they often gloss over the harsh realities, hardships, and day-to-day struggles many of us face during treatment. Obstacles like unexpected financial burdens, intense emotional strain, and logistical hurdles are rarely discussed in depth, leaving you ill-prepared for what’s truly ahead. This guide was built from firsthand experiences—it’s brutally honest about the challenges you’ll encounter and offers tangible solutions, detailed checklists, and compassionate support. Rather than leaving you to figure out the unknowns on your own, it provides the structure and clarity you need to navigate even the toughest parts of this journey.
Absolutely! The planner itself provides step-by-step instructions, checklists, and journaling prompts to keep you engaged and on track. For more personalized service, we've included 1:1 coaching and support coaching. You’ll have direct access to me, as well as a community of women who understand exactly what you’re going through. This way, you’re never tackling any challenge alone.
Our mission empowers women to
take responsibility for creating the freedom
she needs to heal without guilt or shame.
