My appointment with the plastic surgeon was this past Tuesday. Another long appointment that started 40 minutes late but went fairly well. A lot of information to gather and to decide on. The two offices, one being the Dr's that will do the mastectomy and the plastic surgeon had penciled me in for Aug 1 prior to me arriving for this appointment. So that is when surgery is. Better for me.....less time to worry about what is about to happen. One of my Aunts called it a drive thru surgery cause I only stay in the hospital two nights max. I will be sent home with drain tubes for a week and Paul is the lucky one to deal with that.
So I am happy this is happening so that my goal of having all of this over in the year 2007 is still on track. I want to start 2008 fresh, with the whole family being healthy and happy.
It takes both rain and sunshine to see the rainbow. This was created to have friends and family informed on my journey through this dark tunnel. I have entered the tunnel and now have taken the first steps on my way out.

Hello
How is every one's summer going? I looked at the calendar and realized only 7 weeks and school will be starting again. How fast that is.
I saw the surgeon who will do my mastectomy and she referred me to a plastic surgeon and that appointment is next Tuesday. At or before that appointment I hope to have my mind decided on what type of reconstruction I will have if any. It the two surgeons can coordinate their schedules they would like to do surgery with in the next two - three weeks. The surgeon is very happy on the response the tumor had to the chemo.
I have not had chemo now for three weeks and I am gaining energy every day. My taste buds are returning and I am beginning to feel like myself again. I realized this when I started barking orders to the kids to start cleaning their rooms. :)
I will post again after my appointment next week.
Until then enjoy the weather and your summer!
