A short YouTube/social post by Jenn Simmons, MD offering reassurance to people (notably those with breast cancer/healing journeys) that needing surgery is not a failure. She reframes surgery as a necessary, permissible step to reduce pain, heal, and regain life, urging self-compassion and permission to pursue needed care.

Chapters

It is not a failure to have to have surgery. Sometimes that's what you need. And I want everyone to think about it from that perspective. Everyone's needs are different, and you get what you need. And if you have to have surgery in order to get better, in order to get out of pain, in order to heal, in order to get your life back, that's what you need to do. And it's okay. Give yourself permission. It's okay. You didn't fail. You did what you needed to do to move forward.
