(((((TonLee, Jennet))))))
Pbrain, if you are traveling, try taking the prescription stuff they gave you for the trip. I don't usually advocate premedicating, but traveling with the big D is HARD! And. Um, I took Depends with me one in my purse in case I didn't make it. Not fun, but better than smelling.... Good luck.

just thinking about lago...

jenn ((((hugs)))) i notice you were diagnosed last year dec, anniversaries are so difficult, especially around the holidays.  Tamox, diagnosis/anniversary dates, surgeries etc it's no wonder we are in a depressed state.  I had my last chemo dec 16 last year, was not a good day this year.  Im glad you are seeing someone, i hope it helps.  I saw 2 different psych's, i can't say they helped but i don't think i gave it enough of a try.  I gave up after the second one told me about a "friend" who had BC and didn't make it.  Yes, folks the psych decided that would be some good info to share with a patient

tonlee - i always get the new kid, i think the intern or maybe the guy who cleans the floors at the hospital did my surgery.  I swear instead of a expander someone decided to implant a tupperware bowl from lunch. 

keep us posted, sending prayers from your sistah in the great white north

Newbie here, just poking my head in to see what people in a similar situation to myself have to say.  Perhaps as I become more comfortable with what's been going on in my life recently I can add to the discussions somewhat.  It's good to see that I am definitely not alone out here, and that this group seems so positive an supportive.

Jenn...you really gave me something to think about. I think you are right. Instead of trying to live my life in what I hope is with no evidence of disease, I am sadly anticipating the shoe dropping. I am going to try to really work on that.

This time of year is tough in general I think, and we are much more emotional when we are with our families.

Tonlee....you are like my 85 year old mom. She won't tell anyone about a problem and then suddenly the bomb drops. Makes me insane, lol. I swear I am going to receive a call one day where she says oh by the way, I won't be here next week. She has always been like that. Called me at work one day to say she drove herself to the hospital for chest pains and they thought she might be having a heart attack. Ok, let me just finish my paperwork and ill drop,by. Lol. Seriously, she drives me crazy.

SpecialK...we're you able to see the link to the garment I have. Mine did not have the thigh part because he never took anything from the thighs. Otherwise it would have been the longline one.
