TE TROUBLE

Lissab...I'm so sorry...  I just wish you could catch a break.  I guess, better out than in.  I can't imagine what that would feel like!  

Good luck at your MD appt today...hopefully, they will be able to help.   

I'm about to have a procedure done in office. He's cutting the mid section out ' pulling my skin together from excess skin I  have and they're stitching me up. He's numbed me waiting on the procedure to start. No nerve meds I'm quite nervous. He said it should tAke 30 minutes. He seems to feel like this will heal correctly now bc skin won't be so thin there now. Anyone hAd this done?

lissa, you just made your PS' s day! He gets to do a minor surgery on a nonsurgical office vist! I'm sure he's thrilled. And I bet he's smiling.......LOL

Lissab,

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I think our skin is so thin b/c they scrape it to make sure they have all of the breast tissue out.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and I'll say a prayer for you today at church. 

For my part, my pain is mostly gone and it looks like I have some bruising below my left breast. My guess is that the blood just travelled down as it is nowhere near where my muscle tear was.

HOPPY SPRING EVERYONE!

Hugs Lissa. Whatever happens you will deal. Hugs and much love

AZ - hanging in - I go tomorrow to start removing stitches - still have an unhealed edge on one of the stitched areas.  I asked the PS about it last week at my appt., but he said he has also looked at it from the inside and is not that concerned, so we will see what he says.

Saw my new BS today.  Thankfully, he's my new one at the VA but I went to him through my insurance to get it done and not wait on them.  Do believe he's yours too SpecialK.  I know he's the one for MondaysChild.  He gave the idea that his impression of the trouble maker side was that it would have to be moved into a new position inside.  Hmmmm  We'll see. If the one side wasn't doing so well, I'd say just take them out.  But it is so there you go.

aw h*ll! Sorry Lissa. That sucks. 

Lissab - Crap. That's not at all the news I'd hoped for.  But like you said, maybe it will be better if the healing is 100% complete this time.  Sending you a hug and a prayer...

Ahhhhh, hadn't realized that SpecialK.  I'm just thankful he's pleased with my Onc and PS.  He was most vocal of him being glad at my having stepped away from the VA for many aspects of it all.  At least he was able to access direct into my VA record from his private practice.    It was really good to her that he'd have done the same as the prior BS did in terms of my PILC  surgery and treatment.

So sorry. I've been there too!  Better to wait and make sure you're all healed

Babs

lissa. It helps to know you are feeling so much better now that it's out. Since its gone take your time now. Recover well first. I still think I lost my 2nd one cause I didn't wait long enough after chemo and I wasn't in any shape for surgery. I was so much better after chemo I thought I was fine. But at 1 year post chemo I WAS fine and the difference was unreal. You probably will not have to wait as long but do heal first. 

Much love. 

Sandra and I met near Chicago.Fun visit and way too short but still worth meeting one of the lovely ladies of this board. Her DH took the photo. 

Oh, I'm SO glad you posted this picture!  I was wondering if you two had managed to get together.  Sandra's DH did a marvelous job, - but then look at his beautiful models!  I hope you two had fun.  (But we had the bail money ready just in case...) 

Sandra - I love your t-shirt!  (I must confess I have one, too...)
