Kristen is exhausted and ready to be done with chemo. When Scripps' entire computer system goes down from a ransomware attack, her appointments come to a screeching halt. A chemotherapy session is delayed by a day, but the frustration is short-lived as she realizes her brother can be there to see her ring the bell.
Chemotherapy comes to an end, and Kristen’s attention shifts toward the looming double mastectomy and reconstruction.
As she moves out of her beloved beach house while desperately ill, a friend comes to the rescue to help organize and finish the awkward transition.
Even in the darkest valley, her thoughts return to helping others as she puzzles over how to advocate for women who might also miss detecting this kind of breast cancer. All she can think to do (for now) is warn us to “compare your nipples!”
