Meece one of my headlights goes to the floor but the rads headlight goes to the side toward my arm.  Originally the ps said he could and would fix it, that was in our first meeting, now he doesn't want to cut on it at all??? I really don't know what changed his mind but I am going to ask him before I have the surgery.  I have to see him on the 16th and then the surgery on the 20th.  As for 2nd opiinions, I have a name, but my insurance wants me to pay for the second ops so I'm kinda in a bind.  I'm just ready to get it over with... you know?  Definitely don't want to wait 5 yrs, gosh, that would be a long time.  I have a heck of a time finding bras... one side is too big and the other I fall out of .  Hahaha!!  and that's a D cup and a padded bra.  If I had done the implants I was going to go for a reduction on the good side and then have an implant put in both to lift them up.  But as luck has had it that is not the case and I have resigned myself to be o.k. with that.

Good Sunday To All My Sisters

I don't know who is still up ~ I just finished watching my Red Wings get beat in OT & with it being a 10:30 start, I don't have much time on the 'puter.

I just wanted to ask everyone to say a little bitty prayer for my DD#1 who had her mamm & then an US yesterday (Friday) & is waiting for the results, hopefully to come this next week. She is only 33 & has LCIS on L breast. They took 2 pictures of both sides, then 2 more plus a more focused one (can't remember what it is called at this time) directed at a previous biopsy site where there is heavy scar tissue on the R breast. The tech kept leaving the room to check with the radiologist, to see what more he wanted. That was scary enough for her. We went Christmas shopping today & she is, as expected, anxious about the results. I did (didn't want to, but..) give her a heads up that they could want to do a biopsy. She had MRI-guided biopsies on both sides in Feb 2007, result: LCIS on left as I said. Started out in her early 20's with fibroadenomas on both sides. (DD#2 has had fibroadenoma surgeries also)

What in the hell have I passed onto my daughters??????????

I'm scared for her.....

I sure need some Strength & Hope right about now........

I have to get to bed, it's 1:49 a.m.

Val - I am so sorry to hear your DD2 is having to face this at such a young age.  I am hoping very hard that the doctors are just being extra careful and that her results will be clear.  I feel your fear and know your worry about passing something to your children but please my friend, be gentle with yourself - you must not take guilt like that on. You have passed nothing more onto your daughters than was passed onto you.  Life is a lucky dip (no promises or guarantees) and is fraught with all sorts of challenges - this is just another one to face and deal with.  Apart from a mother's love and support, you now have experience and advice to offer your DD and if the dx is BC I know you will be there for her every step of the way through her tx.

Hi,

I wanted to write last night, but I have to say the first treatment wiped me out, yet I think the steroid they gave me (to avoid an allergic reaction) also made me jittery at the same time. It is funny, up until now I would never have known that those two feelings could be mixed. Not pain, just strange. Thank you for all the caring words. It does feel good to know you are all behind me, that is for sure. Seyla, the floor of the hospital seemed to be similar to your description with all that you would need and most importantly an amazing nurse that I told my husband is an angel on earth. I could not think of any other way to describe her. Anyways, it is one down and I can't thank all of you enough for walking with me through it.  

I have so much to say, but do not want to forget anything so here goes.

3jaysmom-It would not be the same if you did not stay here. You are a wonderful sister.

Outsidethebox-I am so happy for you that you are nearing the completion of chemo. That is so huge and I am proud of you. It is awesome!

Rae and Val-You are in my thoughts as we begin this week. Good thoughts and prayers. 

Seyla-I loved the sweet picture you put up for me. It brought tears to my eyes. I am cracking up over the headlights reaching the floor picture!

Hi Valjean,

I missed page 162 and read it only seconds ago. I am praying for your sweet DD2 for peace of mind and good healing thoughts. I read Rae's words and I just kept nodding as they are so true and heartfelt. I am going to keep her in my thoughts and prayers all day.

{{{{VAL}}}} I am cyber hugging you!!!

raincitygirl

Valjean - I hope for good results for your daughter.  I also hope that rather than thinking of what you have passed to your DD;s, you can remember all the wisdom and care that you pass to others and will also be able to pass to your daughter's.

Seyla - thanks for posting the cartoon

jo1955

Val - Thoughts & many prayers for DD#2.  Hoping the results are good and she can give a big sigh of relief.  The waiting always sucks.

catbill

Valjean-

My mother used to say: 

Sometime God calms the storm, other times He calms the child.  May He calm his children today, and calm the storm later this coming week with good news.

Prayers for strength and peace coming your way!!!
