Hi everyone,

Sherri is right. It has been a long time since I’ve been on this site. I am happy to share that all of my breast reconstruction surgeries are done. I saw my plastic surgeon a week ago and he’s pleased with his work and I am too. He doesn’t need to see me for 2-3 years. It’s been a long 2 year journey and I’m blessed that it’s over.

I’ve had to hold off on having my on-line talk shows because I had to go back to my 9-5 job. I just haven’t had the time to devote to it like I desire. I hope to resume having the shows again before the year ends.

To everyone that is currently dealing with a cancer journey, I just want to encourage you to keep a positive faith that you’ll overcome and beat the horrible disease of cancer. If anyone would like to contact me personally, I invite you to email me anytime at ja.jerry@gmail.com

All my best,
Jerryann
