Congrats on the negative results!

I have been Vegan for at least 11 years, haven't drank in 30 but yet was diagnosed with Breast Cancer with no genetic disposition. You never know where life will take you. Let them eat cake!

Yes, all is good! I realized I sent the email without making it explicit that my biopsy is negative and I am total fine but I revised it after the fact :)

Thank you so much for this post. I related to everything in it, especially blaming yourself for a health issue. I hope you are well. And as a fellow baker - that cake looks gorgeous.
