Good. Not too long of a wait. I'm praying for you and here for you as you go through your treatment. PM anytime!
I keep dropping doctors. I'm so glad. I dropped my rad onc in January. I'm hoping to decrease visits to my cardiologist after my MUGA scan today (seeing him once a year would be great). I have a couple other specialists that I am down to seeing once a year. I had a few more than others because I have LUPUS (which is in remission along with the BC). My body has been hit hard but it is a kick butt body because I've been able to fight these diseases.

suzwes-I think your little tastes of wine help that kick butt body!

Eli - I'm just 2 months out of treatment, so for now at least I'm happy to see my docs as much as they want. I have a lot more confidence in their breast examination than I do the mammograms. I found my lump, too, and I'm supposed to go be smashed for the first time since my surgery, chemo and rads in April. I managed to whine my way out of the really intense mammo last year (can't remember what that nightmare is called, I've blocked it) and got away with just an U/S. I REALLY don't want to smash all this tender breast tissue now.....maybe I can whine my way out of this one. I just can't believe - after all the money that's been raised for BC - that there's not a better way. Can you imagine if men had to do this? "Okay, sir, just place your scrotum right between these two pieces of glass, it won't hurt a bit. Now just a little tighter, and a little more, and a little more, one more time...."

Joni, I think that wine did help quite a bit!
I have to confess a mean mom thing. When my adult sons were about to turn 13 or 14 I told them that on their next birthday we'd schedule their physical exam for sports but that because they turned this age they needed to also have a penogram. Of course, being the innocent little boys they were
they asked what that was sooo, while giving the following verbal description, they also got the visual with my hands. First I told them that women had to have their breasts smushed to of course males had to have their penis smushed. So they would have to go in a room, undress and put their penis on a cold metal table and then "SMASH" it would come down and take a picture of their penis. I told them this story 10 years apart (cause that's how far apart they are) and BOTH of them rolled on the floor in pain just thinking about it. I let them believe this for a couple of weeks and then after they were worried to death I'd tell them I made it up. I was a truely cruel mother but they both still love me, talk to me and are responsible adults so I guess it wasn't too bad. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Good Grief! You ladies have been busy this morning. I am going to try and catch up.
My MO is in charge of all my care. I am still seeing my BS for some pain issues but once that this taken care of, I am out of there. He is amazing and wonderful but I see enough doctors now as it is.
Can't wait to head out to Galveston and on the ship.
Lynn- Crossing fingers for B9 resutls on your tests.
Suzwes - That is mean but really funny.

I've been telling my DD for years that when she goes to college I'm packing up lock, stock & barrel & going to whatever city she does. I've been kidding, but it came to my attention this week that she believes it (I'm keeping quiet for now). I'm sure I'll get the "mean" label when the truth outs itself!

Pretty sure she doesn't want you to follow her Joni....or does she?
0 -
DEFINITELY doesn't want me following, but right now she thinks I'm serious-hehehehehe

I truly believe it's best to keep these kids on their toes. Good for you Joni! My DIL keeps telling my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter that they will be roomies when she's in college. Of course the 2 1/2 year old is thrilled now but I can't wait until she'd 16 or 17 and her mom says that!

HnS76, It does hurt a little when you get your first follow-up mammo. Good idea to take some pre-emptive Tylenol. For me, this time (1 1/2 years out,) the mammo felt no different thatn it used to back before B/C, which I only thought was slightly uncomfortable all these years.
Suzwes, You are a naughty little mom! Keep up the good work!

Ok - I told y'all that my biopsy last week was benign but when I saw the doctor he said he didn't get a good sample because the lump was so hard and he wants to remove it. Soooo - surgery on March 14th. He feels that it is fat necrosis but wants to be sure before I start reconstruction - love him for that!

It's best to be sure before you endure recon. Will keep you in my prayers.

Hi Middies,
Just catching up with all the posts, miss a few days and we celebrate 300 pages and then some!
{{Sherry}} so sorry to heear about your Dad, praying for all of you.
Lynn- so glad things worked out, hoping all good news for you.
{{Dawney}} sorry you need to go throught surgery again.
On the good week of Chemo round 2!
Barb your new haircut is fabulous - looking forward to having hair again to cut
.Managed a whole day at the office with the wig, stayed on straight and did not drive me nuts -all good. One girl thought it was my hair just blown out straight - something I never actualy took the time to do.
Vacations and cruise are all sounding good! we are hoping I will be good to go in August - have not even thought about where just that we need to go somewhere. By then should be done with rads too.
regina - thanks for the card it is perfect.
Love the kid stories...my DS was so excited to go go away to college and be on his own, especially since we are still around when needed they sort of have their feet in 2 worlds that first year. this year much more independent and I am sure it gets more so with each year completed.
{{{HUGS to ALL}}}

I haven't post lately so here it goes, finished rads last week, this week been having pains in my right arm which is my tumor side. Called surgeon's office and talked to Nurse Debbie who does my L Dex values every three months for LE. My numbers have changed and she wants to be proactive and has refered me to a lymphadema therapist. Not serious but discomfort in the upper arm area and some pains running from my arm pit to elbow.
As for following up with Drs. My BS said I would be seeing her once a year for life and see my MO every three months right now and probably once a year after the first five years to ten years. At least that is my understanding.
I have come down with a bad cold the past few days.

mjbmiller hope your cold gets better, the weather in Texas has finally turned nice you need to be able to enjoy it.
