Emotional Rolllercoaster

Rondeezee

I was diagnosed with a 2nd bought of breast cancer on March 28, 2018. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of doctorappointments with the last test being a PET/CT on yesterday. Anxiously awaiting results and jumping every time my phone rings. Every time I get a pain in my body I think that it is Mets and I freak out. I've been having hip pain since I was diagnosed and and Ive been on Dr. Google trying to diagnose myself..scared the dickens out of me! Replaced a 17 year old mattress and sought chiropractic care and in general feel much better. When I get nervous it seems like my hip hurts more. I went for a walk this morning and felt great! I was scheduled to have a bilateral mastectomy on 6/13 and was just callled by my medical group to say that they don't have a PS who performs DEIP flap surgery in my Network. I'm in Los Angeles and have been referred to USC Norris Cancer center. Devastated at the thought of starting over again and being further delayed with treatment. I want the cancer out now! I don't know how much more I can take ☹️

Sorry Rhonda. Another bout? Ugh! When was the last one? What kind of BC did you have the first time and this time? I’m sure it is tough to go through it again.

We all understand how every ache and pains computes to metastasis in our minds. I don’t think any of us ever truly gets over that fear factor. How could we given there are no guarantees.

Although you are better prepared it doesn’t make it any easier to endure the surgeries and treatments yet again not to mention the stress but you did it the first time and you will handle it this time too.

Keep the faith and keep us posted.
