Texas

Hey Texasrose - Thanks for checking on me.  How are you doing?  Hope the chemo is not kicking your butt too hard.  I am doing good after the D&C - still spotting a bit but that should go away soon - doctor said it could take up to 2 weeks.  (((HUGS)))  BTW!  I found the picture on facebook - it was one The Breast Cancer Site posted.

2 weeks for the otha reopirts or the spotting to go away? i am confused

Didnt you have your appointment today? 

TexasRose - I was supposed to have my followup yesterday but ended up going in last Friday.  I was bleeding and did not understand why.  I went for 4 days after the D&C and there was nothing. Then all of a sudden on the 4th of July, I started spotting and it scared the heck out of me so I called the doctor and got in early.  He happened to have my path report which was negative.  He did remove a 3 cm polyp which is what was causing the spotting.  Doctor said it could take up to 2 weeks for the spotting to stop.  That is how long it generally takes for the uterus to heal after removing such a large polyp.  It is almost gone now.  So, no more appts with the gyn until next June - Yeah!  Does that clear up your confusion?  Hope so.

Jana - I am going good.  Next thing up for me is my recon revision of Aug 6th.  Looking forward to that - just want to get this done and say good bye to my PS.  Oh!  He is nice enough but he will be one more I can cross off on my list.  How are you doing? 

Hi Texas ladies. I've read through a lot of these posts and noticed quite a few of you are in my area ( and some of us have PM'd). I live in Ft. Worth and I too see Anita Chow. She did my PBMX on June 26th-which turned out not to be preventative on the left side because they found a micro invasion of ILC. I meet with Dr. Oomen next Monday to find out if I have to do anything in addition. We are lucky to have such a great group of doctors in our area. And Sheree Bennett, nurse navigator at Baylor All-Saints is a joy!

HI Damiania and Loriio - So glad Dr. Chow worked out for both of you.  My appt with her got cancelled today for an emergency surgery.  Have one now the end of July.  She's one busy lady. Nothing going on with me to justify taking an earlier appt but then she only had a few mid day that I dared not attempt. Loriio - I like Dr. Oommen.  He's about as quiet as Dr. Chow.  I go back to him in Sept.  Daminana - I know of your MO but not much.  Just know the name.

damiana my girlfriends gave me a party with a boobie cake right before my BMX.  I got to take control and cute those babies off myself. haha  Have fun on vaca and take the time to relax with no Dr appts.

Thanks, I will!

I can't believe how many doctor appointments are necessary in the beginning!  My poor kids have been neglected this week for sure!

Had a MO appt yesterday and one of my friends met me and we went shopping at the outlet mall and had lunch before hand.  Had so much fun.  My friend is always such a hoot you would have to know her.  I was very flat chested but with reconstruction I look pretty good.  so my girlfriend as we are checking out at Talbots tells the sales ladies this is my friend and she is a breast cancer survivor.  She just had a BMX and just got her new boobs doesn't she look great! (she is very loud so 1/2 the store could here) So the sales ladies laugh and one says well I noticed how great your boobs looked but I would never have said anything.  I had to just laugh and thank them and am glad that they do look good.  I have an amazing PS.  Anyway the sales lady was so sweet and said she was glad that I was still here and wished me many more years of survivorship.

Sherry - How cool is that?  You have one very special caring friend.

HI everyone, checking in. Work is nuts, have a moment right now.....

Sherry, as long as they don't wanna touch em! 

Leave today for our vacation to Alburqurque NM.  First vacation in two years since dx.  I am so ready.

Sherry, love your story, thinking of getting filler boobs for my cammies.  I'm a filler B now, do you think a D would be to big.  It was what I was before.

WAlker have a great time in NM.  Have friends who just got back and they had a blast.  As for the fillers I would go with whatever makes you the most comfortable.  If smaller is better stick with that.  If you want to look like your old self go for it.  No one will know or care except you and DH.

Hey TexasRose - How are you doing?  Haven't talked to you in a while.  Hugs!

Texasrose - I'm doing great.  Had my revision done and just one more follow up and I should be done with all the doctors.  After 2 years, it is about time.  Hugs!

Hi everyone! miss you all!
