In this powerful episode of "In Their Words," we sit down with Anita Grove, a dedicated Social Worker at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in York and a breast cancer survivor herself. After being diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2009, Anita transformed her personal journey into a mission to support others facing similar challenges.
Today, she shares her deeply personal experience with post-mastectomy nipple tattooing—a procedure that helped her feel whole again after reconstruction. Anita discusses how this often overlooked aspect of cancer recovery played a significant role in her healing process, both physically and emotionally.
As the founder of a thriving breast cancer support group that has grown from just a few members to over thirty participants, Anita provides unique insight into the power of community healing and the importance of addressing all aspects of recovery, including body image and identity after breast cancer.
Join us for this intimate conversation about restoration, resilience, and finding wholeness again after cancer.
