Too early for April 2012 mastectomy?

I'm scheduled for April 13th. That's Fridaythe 13th! I can't wait to get it over with. Waiting is the worst.

Well since it is your husbands bday, I'm going to take that as a good sign.

Thanks , plymouth, I am scared as all hell mine is also a PBMX for LCIS and ADH .. I am a worrier and cannot be on Tamox for 5 years ... and keep getting scans and Biopsies .. as it is now my right boob is smaller than left ... some people think im crazy for doing this but its my decision and I will feel much better when I know I have decreased my chances as best I can .. I am 43 and had cervical cancer last year .. and this year this .. who knows what next year brings ... I am also having TE's . my mom had a flkight from Vegas for April 9 and now they change things .. so glad she got to change her flight ... I am single and alone and hate to go at it alone .. thanks for letting me join .. The threads here have been good to me ... mostly .. not really my LCIS one but the 40-60 and the stop smoking one helps .. I am also 16 days smoke free .. and about to loose my mind .. I just want this over , i want to heal , and live .. Hugs

Met with my surgeon today. All ready to go for April 13th...I think. I had a lumpectomy this past October and they found more than they expected. So, a mastectomy was the next step. But they suggested chemo first then mastectomy. I've had 4 DD of AC and 3 DD of taxol. The taxol has been giving me nueropathy in my feet so I will find out Thursday if we cancel the fourth taxol. If yes, I'm on for 4/13 surgery. If no, then the surgery date will be moved. Sigh. I hate waiting!

Lisamarie, remember - breathe, just breathe.  You are an amazing woman, to quit smoking!

45, single, and going at it alone too! After surgery I will have 6.5 weeks of radiation. Then will need to wait another 6 months before DIEP reconstruction surgery. Then wait another 3 months for revision surgery. I better have fabulous ta ta's at the end of this!

Lisamarie, sorry for your delay but great for being smoke free. im on 14 days and It is a very hard habit to break. Mardibra, your ta tas will look marvelous because you now will have control of how you want them to look When I met with my plactic surgeon that is what he told me. A long journey but the outcome will be well worth it. .Gmak and plymouth waiting is aweful,Thank God we have this site to know we r not alone. Sometimes we just have to take life one day at a time or one minute at a time.. I also try to remember all the things I'm grateful for no matter how little it may be..

Hello April ladies

I had PBMX on 02/01/12, waiting is definitely the worse. The surgery is not as bad as one might expect, the pain is very manageable. There is a lot of information on the February mastectomy thread if you want to take a look. Good luck to all of you. YOU CAN DO IT 

Hi Lisa, I'm also excited that we can support each other. I have one patch left and a few pieces of gum left. I know this is something I should have done a long time ago, Better late than never. We will be in tip top shape for our surgery.....hugs to you....

Hi ladies, I am on the March wait thread to.  I was supposed to have my mx in March but the 2 surgeons couldn't get their schedules together.  So my surgery is scheduled for April 4th.  Such a long wait.  I was dx'd on Feb 7th.  I also quit smoking it is fricking hard!!!  Hope I can join 2 threads, lol!

Hi

Time to join up .. I had pre chemo AC and taxol, now I'm signed up for mx on April 4. I also will be doing rads and then Diep in 6-8 months. I've been reading the mx boards for past few months, just freaking on the drain tubes a bit, need a Xanax every time I think too much about it. I've been looking in the TLC catalog for camisoles, going to order this weekend.
