Post #22- A Good Cry Is Very Liberating

I had a good cry. I feel good now. Back to business, lol... I saw the Radiological Oncologist today. She was wonderful I even got my first breast cancer tote bag. It's pink and cute. I also got my very own pink hospital gown. I think I am going to bling it out with some rhinestones.

Well on to the treatment plan. It is a little different than I expected however, it's even better. They are going to take both breast but not at the same time. First I will be getting a mastectomy on my left breast alone. My recovery time will be shortened tremendously in contrast to removing both breasts at one time. This will also allow me to start Chemo sooner which is great since my cancer is aggressive. So I am looking at 6 months of chemo then a couple months of radiation followed by a dual surgery with a mastectomy of the right breast and reconstruction of both breasts all at the same time. So I am happy just as long as both will be removed and I'll be healthy. It's crazy because every Doctor I see says your healthy and I am like are you forgetting something, lol....I will consider myself healthy once this is GONE!!!!!! The great news is that the radiologist said if I opted not to get the radiation treatment it would be a 25% chance it would come back. If I get the radiation it would be less then 5%. That's a no brainer. Zap me and make me an X-Men!!!!!! I never thought the highlight of my day would ever be surgery, chemo or radiation, lmao.. however, when that is what it will take for you to live, you see it in a totally different light.

You know I have been talking about McDonald fish filets. Well can you believe they are 99 cents until 11/16. I said someone up there really likes me :). Quiet as it is kept.... I got three today and ate one before I could drive off of the parking lot...lol. That satisfied my urge, now to the veggies, fruits and lean meats.
