Tampa area BCO sisters get togethers

Wish there was someone near me to go with. I miss the get togethers.

I was up there just the week before for my 6 month visit with Dr. Wright, so didn't want to ask him to come again. Will say all looks great as far as the blood work which is what I worry about.

Love~Peace,

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

OMG! That is hilarious!

Happy Holidays to all Tampa BCO!

I look forward to seeing everyone in 2014!

Firework

Time for a chuckle. I'm sitting in MOs office waiting for port flush and blood draw. No stress there! The receptionist says "hello there Special K". My head whipped around so fast! It wasn't, then I started laughing at. And to myself.

Happy Holidays everybody.

What an interesting conversation I had last evening at a wine-tasting event. I met an OR RN who works for a PS. As the after-event dinner was mostly wound down, I asked if I might pick her brain. She'd already realized I'd had BC when the ladies were speaking of HRT and said i couldn't take that.

Prior to the current PS she works for (doesn't do reconstruction) she'd worked mostly with BC patients and reconstruction. We did move away from the group to talk. When she heard I was ILC, she kept saying you did bilateral right. Told her yes. She was was obviously relieved to hear that. We talked about the various surgeries I've already done. She did suggest Fat Grafting and I'd told her I'd already consulted with Dr Gayoso in St Pete along with Dr Khouri in Miami, that I just couldn't bring myself to commit to wearing those domes for a good year or more to achieve completion. She couldn't say enough about Dr Gayoso's results.

It was quite interesting that because of the ILC she was most adamant a PET scan should be done at least annually if not every six months. Additionally, again she was adamant that a Filter should have been or should be installed because of throwing clots.

All in all, a most interesting conversation.

I believe that's what she meant. Naturally it's a concern of mine any time I have surgery since throwing clots during the micro-vascular surgery. Thanks for the input!

Merry Christmas to all of you. It has been an honor to connect with each and every one of you. Hope you are able to spend the holidays with family and friends. Much love and healthy wishes for the new year! We'll all have to catch up sometime. 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Methinks most are still celebrating the Holidays. 

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year.

A happy and healthy New Year to all!
