Those who know me well, know that I can talkalthough I rarely talk about how my relationship with my body (and myself) changed over the course of my cancer journey. And the evolution continues... For those who may not feel like they can be open about their bodies, I hope this is helpful. You are not alone. ❤️ Thank you @survivornetfamily for inviting me to share my story. Full video in bio and on SurvivorNet.com ☺️#selflove #survivor #support #breastcancer #breastcancersurvivor #BRCA #BRCAsisterhood #community
#Repost @survivornetfamily with @get_repost・・・A lot of survivors tell us that it takes some time to feel like yourself again after cancer. @ckreiswirth shares how she got that self love back. Check out the rest of Carrie’s story on SurvivorNet.com!
Sometimes it Snows in April. Sometimes it hails and thunderstorms at the same time in April. Sometimes, a woman recovering from a double mastectomy says Thank You, deeply, in April.

Special thanks to: My shark-like surgeons Sara and Jacqueline; My nurses Dana, Peyton, and Velna; My sweet 94 year old roomie, Dorothy (aside from some grumpiness at nighttime, we really enjoyed one other); visits from the best friends a girl could ever dream up: Jessica, Kelly, and Allie; my brother Taylor and sister Mandy; my “mom” Megan, “dad” Doug and my “brother” Cole; and to my significant other and daughter for front-lining the warrior march with me. There are so many others who have texted, called, sent flowers, and meals...so many, in fact, that my Instagram caption will lose space. THANK YOU!

I’m on the long road to recovery and so grateful that every day brings me one day closer to relief of anxiety, fear, confusion, anger, and the obvious physical pain. I’m gonna go Carry On living now. ♥️

Excited to be heading to NYC this week to speak on a panel about the journey to healing after a mastectomy with the @airsfoundation! For those of you who don’t know about the AiRS Foundation, they are a non-profit dedicated to emotionally and financially helping women, who have had a mastectomy, pay for breast reconstruction who could not otherwise afford it. Give them a follow! #AiRSFoundation #BreastCancerAwareness
A special THANK YOU to the incredibly talented @innovativevisionsmedia for his #SelfExamGram submission — this beautiful compilation video, chronicling my journey to the #SISwimSearch. This opportunity has truly changed my life. We all have a platform, sometimes big, sometimes small... what we do with it is what defines us. I want to thank each and every person, every company, every media outlet who “used their powers for good” and have helped spread a message of hope, of prevention and worked towards a cure for breast cancer. I’m consistently BLOWN AWAY by your support.
This holiday season, please squeeze your loved ones a little tighter and while you’re at it - give your boobs a squeeze too... it might just save your life. #SelfExamGram #BreastCancerPrevention #Previvor #CancerPrevention #SelfBreastExam #BreastSelfExam
kid with bad flu is heartache.
mothering is beautiful
(and also tiring).
connection is soothing.
celebration is heart filling.
old friends are lovely.
familiar beds are precious.
fresh touch is solid.
clarity is priceless.
alone time is golden.
writing is transformational.
grief is sly.
migrating butterflies are magical.
vitamin d is healing.
white supremacy is killing.
conformity is stifling.
how was your week?
