Send us a text Two weeks after her mastectomy, Dakota sits down with Bianca to unpack the part of recovery most people don’t talk about: drains that snag, sleep that won’t come, pain meds you think you won’t need (then absolutely do), and the odd reality of a beautiful new breast you can’t quite feel yet. She also shares the shaky first hours after surgery, the small kindnesses that made a difference, and why the “all clear” can land alongside fear and fatigue when radiation is still ahead. T...
