She underwent a double mastectomy 30 days later and has gone through four surgeries total over the past 10 months.
“I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next. I’m lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options,” she said.
She credited her family, friends and boyfriend John Mulaney for their support throughout her cancer journey.
“I’m so thankful to John for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect,” she wrote.
“For being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up, always placing framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”
She also thanked her physicians, the staff at Cedars-Sinai and Saint John’s in Santa Monica, Calif., calling her OBGYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, her “guardian angel.”
