i'm in!!!

McKatherine · March 2014

Relocated - I started noticing a "shadow" about four weeks after - but met ladies during rads whose hair was 6-8 weeks before it started peeking through - but when theirs came in it came in fast! Mine showed up early, but grew really, really slowly at first (no where near the 1/2" per month they're always talking about -- it's barely 3" long 10 months later), but seems to be growing faster now that I've finished Herceptin.

LorettaMc · April 2014

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I will try to make it to lunch tomorrow

mary625 · April 2014

Can someone confirm the time for tomorrow and that it's Cheesecake Factory at Dulles Town Center? Looking forward to it.

odie16 · April 2014

Lunch tomorrow at the Cheesecake Factory in Dulles Towne Center at NOON tomorrow.. Can't wait to see everyone.....

Hi ladies. I live in NOVA too. I'm considering a PBMX. Any advice regarding who to see for a PS consult in our area? I'd value some personal recommendations. Thx

LorettaMc · April 2014

I highly recommend Dr. Ariel Rad for a PS. He comes from Hopkins and went into private practice here about a year ago. He has offices in McLean and Arlington. Feel free to private message me if you have any questions.

McKatherine · April 2014

Dr. Victoria Suh in Fairfax is my surgeon and I love her! Do you already have a breast surgeon? I think even with a pbmx you'll have a surgery team - surgical oncologist / breast surgeon plus a plastic surgeon.

The local FORCE group might be a great resource, too!

Edith61 · April 2014

will be there

dessert1st · April 2014

Mckatherine, i have dr suh too! love her! (Sherry is having her baby Friday!)

Will miss lunch again hope to make it in May!

Cuetang · April 2014

see you all soon! Looks like my friend Jess will be able to join us today as well!

As for the plastic surgeon --I had Dr. Mark Venturi.

odie16 · April 2014

It was great to see everyone yesterday. Next luncheon will be on May 3rd at Ozzie's in Fairfax Corner. Have a good week!

MsVeryDenseBreasts · April 2014

Ladies thanks for replying to my post with your recommendations. I do have a breast surgeon and she has worked with 4-5 different PSs. I'm always interested in patient recommendations in addition to what the docs say. Thanks again for taking the time.

odie16 · April 2014

Our next luncheon is next Saturday at Ozzie's in Fairfax Corner. Please RSVP by Thursday so I can make the reservation....Hope to see everyone there!!!

placid44 · April 2014

Odie,

I will be there! Thanks.

Cuetang · April 2014

Darn, I'll have to see you gals in June. I have an doggy foster event I need to be at during that time.... have fun!

mary625 · April 2014

I'm planning to come.

dessert1st · May 2014

hi! I plan to make it!

dessert1st · May 2014

Change in my RSVP - I am not going to make it just got back from Vaca and my legs are a bit swollen. Doc said to limit activity until it resolves . On coumodin and never knew it caused so many issues other than thin blood

Enjoy and hopefully will catch you next month (if it is not on the 7th)

dessert1st · May 2014

hi ladies, is there a date/place for June lunch?

odie16 · May 2014

Next luncheon should be June 7th at the Fairfax Sweetwaters (near Arlington Blvd not the Centreville location.) Unfortunately I am not going to be able to make it as my nephew graduates that day so if anyone is willing to handle the reservation, please let me know.

dessert1st · May 2014

Dang, I will not be able to make this one either It is the day of my daughters wedding shower . My next Exchange surgery is July 3rd so maybe can make the next one if it is after the 5th. hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!

MomMom · May 2014

Hello Ladies,

Just discovered this Northern VA thread. I live in south Alexandria (Fairfax Co). Mary Wilkinson is my MO, Jayne Grayson my RO and Kirsten Edmiston my BS. Looks like you have a monthly lunch. Would love to join you sometime soon! I was DX in early January, have finished 4 DD AC and 4 of 12 weekly Taxol. Feel like I've been very lucky so far with minimal SEs. Hope it continues.
