Thanks for all the kind words and prayers and thoughts. Tonight I will wake up without breasts. Extremely sad. I think nostagically how my breast were a monument to so much pleasure. I am missing my daughter that passed away last year so much and cry at the loss of her comfort.

    It's strange how an event like BC can trigger so many other memories.  I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter.  As you are getting ready for your surgery, you are probably thinking about how your daughter would have been a comfort to you now and how much harder it is for you to be going through this without her. I lost my SO a few years before my diagnosis and going through BC without him by my side was almost as difficult as the diagnosis itself.  I took comfort in the fact that his memory and his loss still felt so strong; that reminded me that in one way or another, he will always be here, just as your daughter always will be with you.  

    All I can do is send lots of cyber ((((hugs)))) and best wishes for an easy surgery and a quick and easy recovery.

    Annie, I am thinking about you right now wondering how you are. I hope you sense your daughter being near. I do believe in these things, that she is near you right now.

    I did wake up without breasts. Which I will do again tomorrow. The overwhelming love and support i have received has been a blessing. I am home now and getting the pain. Management down. I had TE's put in and waiting on biopsies. I am very happy I went to a second doctor, Dr J here in Missoula, Montana. What a wonderful world of difference with a caring staff. Thank you all.

    Bees..thanks for taking the time for my posts. The seven hours I had to myself the day before surgery were the lowest. My path reports showed more dcis in the left and in the right the cells were diving at an atypical rate..so it seems my choice for bilateral was right for me. My oldest daughter is here for two weeks and she is a godsend. I think the pain is more manageable than expected. Now onto the reconstruction phase. I'm very detailed oriented and will stay the course. I am cozy with my online family and look forward to all the posts.
