I just got done with a 12-hour clinical rotation for my nursing program at UCLA. Every time I work with patients I am so glad I made the decision to completely switch career paths after having my “calling” to become a nurse – even though my brain is so tired the only thing I can think about doing is watching some Real Housewives of OC.

I wanted to write a quick post to say thank you so much for the outpouring of love and support after posting my first post last night. It was a really hard decision to make my journey public, but it just felt right in my gut, almost like I had to. I’m so happy I did, I have already had several people write to me about possibly getting the BRCA test. Cancer prevention is my mission and I’m glad so many of you are on board. Thank you all and I can’t wait to keep sharing this journey with you.
