    Praying for all - including FK and Alyson. Hope they find a way to help you both. You all can pm me if you want to chat. I get email alerts when you do.  I need a break from BCO, so I will still post pictures on my peaceful contemplations topic, but will not be keeping up with other topics right now.  Too tired and sad to do that. Love and hugs to all.

    hugs to all who need them..  Beautiful picture GMA.  Sorry you are sad right now..  I finally made an appointment with the acupuncturist for tomorrow.  Hoping it will help.  Hope your pain is still ok from your acupuncture treatments.,

    Oh no Alyson. That sounds so painful.

    I'm so thankful that it's not progression though.

    Gentle hugs to you!!

    Alyson, Can/did they give you an injection? Depo Medrol works wonders for me. It just doesn't work for very long after BC treatment. You're only supposed to have two a year. I really hope it hasn't gotten infected.

    Update on my breast pain - and ?Reduction:  i have figured it out - Acupuncturist gets rid of the pain, but soon as I get active it comes back. The movement of my large breasts are what is triggering the pain. [I had my breast size measured out of curiosity (as you all know the pain is so bad where the bra rides, I can't wear one). Found out I measure a 44F/G - Holy cow no wonder my neck and shoulders are in so much pain.] I have a consult with a PS about reduction - I guess for insurance to pay for it, they need to take 500ccs of tissue? or show medical necessity. The conversion chart says I have 2060cc's of volume, for my size - don't think the 500cc is going to be a problem.. I see the plastic surgeon Oct 13th for a consult..

    Holy mammaries G'ma Foley! I wear a C cup (with padding and that is cause I am a bit chubby these days since starting the exemestane has made my appetite like a construction worker!) so I can't even imagine what having breasts that large is like. I am really a solid B if I am at a good weight.

     Must be hard on you. My mom had very large boobs and she always had marks where her bra straps dug in and I never got those and now I know it was the sheer weight of those triple D's she carried around. Hoping you get the surgery you want/need so you can get relief!

    I'm here, too. My Dad came in from North Carolina to stay and visit with me. He was so worried about me. After he left, I felt incredibly sad, so didn't feel like posting.

    I had my chemo port placed yesterday in preparation for next weeks first infusion. So I'm uncomfortable and grumpy. I hope no one tells me how "strong" I am today. Or how "brave" I am being. Or that I need to stay "positive". Unless it's someone who has been down this path....

    GmaFoley, I had a bilateral reduction/lift at the same time as my lumpectomy. They should have not problem removing 500ccs of tissue. My PS asked what size I wanted to be after the surgery, which I hadn't even considered. I wanted relief from the back pain and the cancer out! It's a big surgery, but so worth it to gain relief from the back pain. Hope it goes well for you!

    my sister (non cancer person) had reduction recently, she had lost weight, hips small and her boobs were a size F I think

    they removed 5 # from each boobie, she looks much better and much more comfie...do it!

    GMA - Love the quilt.  Would you please post another picture when it is all finished?  I am working on a baby quilt now.  I have it all together and basted.  Now, I can start hand quilting it.

    As far as the breast reduction - go for it.  Holy Moly!  The PS shouldn't have any problem taking 500ccs.  I'm sure your back and shoulders will thank you for it.

    Just love the hugs picture - so cute!!!

    Ducky - What is wrong sweetie?  You haven't picked on FK in a long time.  Sending ((((HUGS))))
