Oops, sorry Sherry and Panmars, was skimming the posts too quickly and did not go back to check.
MJB - how exciting about the marching! My son did 4 years in band, plays trombone. Ended up majoring in music in college. Marching was really great for him and we loved it. We did plenty of stints in the concession as well. Good times. Take it easy though and don't overdo it. It gets really hot in there.
AmyJo, thanks for the advice. My appointment went well. All of my bloodwork was fine and all I had to complain about was achy feet and chapped lips, so I didn't ask for the scan. I wimped out. I felt good too before I found my lump, so I sort of know what you mean. It's amazing how our bodies can keep going even when it is under assault.
Have a great long weekend everyone! :P

c'mon there is room for everybody but I will most likely be sleeping as I cannot seem to tonight (this morning now)....get a few winks and then awake:) the ps was hoping there would be more fat as he isn't touching the area where the hernia and muscle split is on my belly but hopefully there will be enough to do whatever he is wanting to achieve. I will post a just before shot and then the results on the pic forum as usual. I can't wait to getting back to eating right again and dump this 10 pounds I put on for this to happen. Maybe I might snarf a few more forbiddens tomorrow after I am out of surgery but I am actually looking forward to going back to how I was eating before he told me to bulk up. I never would have thought that to be the case in a million years. Who knew?
Special K- I am the queen of the BONY chest and an enormous rib cage( i have often said when I lay down I look like I have two sets of boobs!) I don't have any divots but my PS is doing this to smooth out some ripples (have some on the left inner boob) and general overlay through the cleavage area, No great amounts from what I think and won't make a whit a difference to my bony chest or ribcage-those are just parts of my body that have always been that way. We'll see- i am not unhappy where I am at this point- it is all good.Anything more from tomorrow will be a bonus in my eyes...:)
Sherry- I have heard that too about DIEP and I guess they see after the procedure if you need it or not.
night all:) Thanks for all being so damn wonderful:)

Well, my ooph is tomorrow. Starting to get a little nervous, but I will be glad to get rid of my cystic ovaries. I just hate surgery. It's only been 9 months since my lumpectomy, and I wasn't planning on having to have more surgery quite this soon, but here I am. It should be a simple procedure, and hopefully I will have a quick recovery. I will be glad when tomorrow is over.

Panmars - hope all is well today, prays to you.
Well my concession duty last Friday went fine. They need someone to do dipping dots, lemon chills and cotton candy on the concourse, so I volunteered for that. Was fine for most of the night as there was a breeze, warmish but still air, but about 9:00 I starting getting the funny feeling and had to be releived. They were great checking up on me but it hit me all at once.
Today I am celibrating my first post cancer birthday. Last year did not consider it because I was still going through chemo. So today I am officially one again and here is to 48 more years.Well today I am celibrating my first post cancer birthday. Last year did not consider it because I was still going through chemo.

{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} to Pammars and annettek. Hope everything went well for you today.
I had my Doppler done today and everything was great. No clots or blockages of any kind so that was all good news. I show there was good blood flow to my feet and ankles, I am very ticklish so there was a lot of laughing and giggling. They said I held the record for the most giggles.
Tomorrow Chrissy arrives here in Raleigh, NC!!!! I am so excited, I can hardly wait until it is time to pick her up. Just have to get through the MRI tomorrow morning then I will pick her up in the early evening. I think we will go to Red Robin (Yummmm) for dinner after she gets here. I have not been there in a long time. I know they do not have Red Robins in Aus. so it should be a treat for Chrissy too.

Home from my ooph. It went well, but I have more pain than I anticipated. I felt well enough to eat dinner, and am watching a movie now. I hope I can get some sleep tonight, but I'm pretty uncomfortable, even with pain meds on board. Thanks for all the well wishes. Everyones support makes things better. {{{HUGS}}} to all of you.

Panmars--Glad you are on the other side. Take the pain meds and try to relax and get some sleep

Man, had no idea recovery from an ooph would be this hard. Granted, it's only been 4 days, but it still hurts pretty good, and the bruising.....it looks like I caught a cannonball with my crotch. Really ugly. Haven't had a bowel movement since Thursday morning, the day of my surgery. That's not helping. Taking Miralax now, try to get it moving. Yeah, this kinda sucks. But at least it's behind me. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Panmars sorry you are hurting so bad and the BM thing is not helping. Hope that gets moving soon. Hang in there.

AmyJo- yeah! for the good news
Panmars....ouch! Sending healing wishes so you get all mo bettah good NOW.
Iam hanging in here Granny- this last surgery surprised me by kicking my ass but i actually think it was so rough more as a cumulative thing. I will heal. already am. just hate feeling like a cry baby over something as lame as lipo for fat grafting to smooth out boobs...but crap it hurt and knocked me on my now flabby ass:)
We are a strong bunch of women in here and we;ll just keep on moving forward:))

Ouch back at ya, annettek! I bet it hurt a lot. And that feeling like a crybaby over something like this? I'm right there with you. I look at my bruised, battered belly and cry every night, wondering why I am crying over a simple surgery. This whole BC thing, it is cumulative, and sometimes I feel pushed to the limit of my ability to cope with it. But cope we do, because we are strong. All of us. Hang in there. {{{HUGS}}}

Hugs to all of you recovering from surgeries. Hope you heal quickly. But just take it easy for as long as you need to.
I had four surgeries in 9 months and the last one was the one that really wiped me out. I think they do have an accumulative affect.
love and hugs to you all!

I too am feeling better today. Healing well. Saw my rheumatologist yesterday, and he's keeping me on 5mg of pred once a day for my joint pain and swelling ( from the tami ) for a few months yet. Here's the thing....both he and my OB/GYN said they would like to see me switched from tami to raloxifene now. The OB said it does not have the uterine cancer SE ( still have the uterus ) and the rheumatologist says it does not have the joint pain SE. I called my MO, and am waiting for a call back, but I was under the impression that raloxifene was used to prevent BC in high risk post menopausal women, not as a treatment once you had BC. Am I wrong? I'm confused. The tami has been hard on me, and would like an alternative, but I also want the drug that will be most effective for me. So while I wait for a call back from my MO, any insight from any of you wonderful ladies?0

Please hang In there .I know this post is a year old,but I am about to start your journey..."..scared ...will do port also my veins are not the best. I still do not know what kind of chemotherapy I will be having. I have an appointment Sept 26 2011 at Fox Chase in pa. Just had lumpectomy and syn node removed for test...came back good cancer didn't spread . I am very frightened about what lies ahead . Also I still have breast pain and extreme tenderness ........hoping this will subside soon before they start poking at me again. I would appreciate any info about treatments that anyone had and what to expect. I have stage 1 DCI
