Screw You Cancer

Caitlin Brodnick, a 28-year-old comedian, has felt the weight of a possible cancer diagnosis for years. After losing multiple family members to cancer and learning she tested positive for the BRCA1 mutation that makes it more likely she will develop breast cancer, Caitlin makes the difficult decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy.

Caitlin gets honest about what it will be like to lose her breasts and have reconstructive surgery.

Surrounded by her family, Caitlin prepares to go into surgery for her double mastectomy.

Caitlin's family nervously waits for her as she undergoes her preventative double mastectomy. Luckily, surgery goes smoothly and Caitlin bravely begins the recovery process.

For Caitlin, the days following her double mastectomy are difficult but made easier by the love and constant support of her husband and family members. Even though her soreness makes it painful to laugh, Caitlin seems in good spirits as she adjusts to her new body and begins the healing process.

Less than two months after her double mastectomy, Caitlin is back on her feet and back on stage.
