Welp, I'm getting brain surgery on Wednesday to remove a couple tumors they found up there because it looks like my breast cancer missed me so much it might have come back to nest in the ol cranium. I'm cautiously optimistic but taking it day by day. My family and friends are with me, and my sweet husband, who I've already put through the wringer the first time around, has been a damn super hero. Stay tuned for new TMGW tour dates, we were just getting into a groove with it! But Mamrie and her Virgo ass has found a million ways to pivot into helping me get through this. I feel very blessed and deeply loved.
Thank you for all the support! This is probably a niche request but any brain surgery recovery tips are more than welcome!!! #reels #breastcancer #braintumor #brainsurgery

That's not what happens when you have cancer spread like this. 3 to 5 years is what the prognosis is generally. This is stage 4 cancer.

It’s unfortunately common for breast cancer to metastasize to the brain. Hope she recovers!
