No meeting this week. I hope everyone is having a good week.
Had something odd happen this week. A profile picture from 2 years ago popped up on my Facebook memories. Made me realize how much I've changed in the last two years. I've lost weight in my face and my hair is thinner. Didn't show my body, where I had many change. Kind of a weird feeling. All of the changes that I've gone through since my breast MRI June 2020. Didn't know if anyone else had a similar experience.

This is the forum i mentioned on the call today - looking forward to connecting in this format.
So doc visit went really well today -- said my reimplant "infection" wasn't one, just a bad reaction to "something". Not too happy about nebulous info, but glad I guess and super glad I didn't get too worried. My bod seems to not like implants, but they make me feel more normal for whatever that's worth. Off the RX and on to Cortizone to banish the crazy itching. Already feel better! Fingers crossed - Johnna.

GOOD TO HEAR. I tell myself when i read something i do not understand in a report, to look up the words on med sites. Then go to the portal and ask the question.
Today i messaged the plastics doctor who did my emergency surgery for a letter for my employer. Same day the letter was done. He gave me till the 23rd. I called them and please said revise. I was back the 13th. I do not have state disability at my college. I may have taken that week if I did. For now I must use sick hours.
So they sent the revised letter. I also had the cover on where my drain is, and I was told to remove it and shower then add bacterial cream, gauze and tape. Praying i get it off the 17th.
Wow. My hardest part of the journey is done. My medical oncologist now has tons more new patients. For today, I am on the maintain and watch side.
June 2021. It all began.

I just got finished at the optometrist. My vision problem is Posterior Vitreous detachment. It's common with aging and nearsightedness. It can lead to retinal detachment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't. Still not convinced the Letrozole didn't have something to do with it.
