Ottawa ladies?

Sandi, OMG so sorry to hear you have been going through this..I was wondering why we hadn't hear from you in a while.  Try and get some rest and take care..When you have more time I would be interested to know what all this is that you have.

Hello ladies, so I was having a neck. Massage the other day and was laying on my stomach, and the most embarrassing thing happend. The therapist said omg ur leaking. The bed was covered with white clear fluid. At first I thought it was my implant leaking, but then later found out after visiting my ps that where m incision opened possible a seroma was leaking. Great. I just got so much exciting things happen to me, it's my destiny. Oh well as. Long as cancer don't come back I'm ok with these mishaps. Surgery on Monday. I'm being switched to the same implant but with allerderm. Ps feels. That I could still be stretched more.

If anyone wants to meet me at Bayshore. During the week let me know, I work there.we could do coffee.

Hope all ur ladies are doing well

half an hour surgery, a few hrs post recovery......

Hi all,

Gee Red, what next? Glad to hear leakage wasn't your implants. How did surgery go? I hope all is well. Next time I go for chemo at IGFCC, i'll take a detour to Bayshore. I think I'm at QCH on the 24th.



Ladybug, how are you doing? Have you had your reconstruction? Wishing you all the best!



Michele, I'm looking forward to some freedom. Except for my time in hospital, I've had a iv pump and bag attached to me since April 12th. How are things with you. Work must be getting busy. My 2 grandkids 2 & 4, have been spending a lot of time up at grandparents that have 48 horses. Jay, has named his new foul sugarfoot. They both love horses and riding.



Liking this weather... Looking forward to getting out more soon.

hi there

im back. 

surgery went well, got a follow up tomorrow. hopefully this drain will go. its rather annoying.

i had another lift on the other side so he could  match everything up.

Red, so glad to hear it all went well for you,  hope you get your drains out soon.

Babysammy, hope you feel better soon too.  It will be over before you know it.

By the way, what is up with this new format...hate it.

Hi all,

I'm with you Michele. I don't like this format either. I find it harder to read.



Babysammy: I agree... This sucks .... I have good days mixed with some awful days. ( #3 treatment is next week.)

As those who've been through it say: It'll be over before you know it. I keep that in my mind.

I hope yout

Hi everyone. So far so good, I went in today to remove some staples.

Fill nexweek.

I had a Mammogram booked next week but I've been told not to do it until least 3-6 months post op. I had a lift in the good one.

Anyone else heard of this. Also what kind of tests are ppl Doing during the approach of their 2nd yr anniversary ????

I would wait a little more for that mammogram. You just had staples out. Maybe phone Guay's office and ask. Better yet, maybe you should book another appt with him to ask ( any reason to gaze at those eyes.....haha). Seriously though, I would wait a bit. Or you might have another leakage, or an explosive one!

Baby sammy that sounds about right.  It will be over before you know it...hang tough.  I went bald all the time.  The family got use to it.  It took my daughter the longest.  My husband and son didn't care.  It is to hot out to worry about hats and wigs.  let your toppie blow free.

Welcome Doreen...sorry I can't help with that one...I'm sure someone here can answer your question.

DorMac~use the Search function (it's upper left on my screen) and under 'keywords' punch in scalp pimples.  A whole lot of stuff comes up.  I don't think it's unusual to have scalp issues.  Be sure to mention this to your onc.

thanks ladies, so surgery was 3 weeks ago, ill wait to do my mammogram in august some time. New TE with allerderm is doing well, i have like 3 staples left to remove. Last week she removed the bulk of them and gave me 30CC. She told me she was going extra slow with me. Just sucks to wear a prosthesis again.

Skin is really soft though, cuz remember i was filled to almost the finish and then.......the implant incision opened up blah blah.

Hi ladies - brand new to the forum - just diagnosed this week, DCIS, going in for an MRI on Sunday and to see the doc on the 11th... I haven't shared with anyone "in person" yet (other than my hubby), want to wait until I have the full picture - so this site has been a haven for the last few days to read and review and try to stay sane with the waiting... 

Thanks for the warm welcome Michele, I'm an east-ender.  After Sunday I'm going to try and put the whole thing out of my mind for a week until I see the Dr. (Dr. Arnaout - who I hear is fabulous, anyone with any experience with her?).  My GP gave me a prescrip for / and counsel to take a couple of Ativan in prep for the MRI this weekend... so other than that, all I can do is wait right now. Once I have my complete dx and plan I'm sure to have more quesitons for everyone - and in the meantime I'll check the other topic as well.
