July 1st is a big day for me. First thing that morning I get my PET/CT results. I am so praying I am still in remission. My results from that will decide if I am keeping my second appoinment that day.... which is with a plastic surgeon.

I have lost a few pounds... 84 to be exact... and I am working on the last 20 or so. However, all that fat missing has caused all this excess skin hanging heavily on my waist and inside thighs. I want all that nasty stuff cut off. Every time I tuck in a shirt I have to tuck in a layer of skin first.... I know... nice visual huh??? LOL That skin hanging on my legs is actually pulling so hard it is breaking veins. Just want it gone.

Last time I seen Onc we discussed it and he referred me to this plastic surgeon. However, if this PET comes back with ANY recurrance..... There goes my dream of getting this nasty crap cut off me. So please.... can ya'll say a special prayer.... or just send me some good vibes. I so want this and if that stupid cancer crap gets in my way I am going to be super bummed.

Yes, I am making Cancer sound second and what i want FIRST..... screw cancer...it has got it's way long enough!!!

Thank you so much my 2nd Family............ Love you all!

Jennie

    Jennie:
    Wishing you nothing but the best outcome from your recent scans. Your plate has been very full lately so you are really due for some really good news.

    Congrats on losing all that weight, not an easy thing to do. Hopefully, you will be able to now move forward with the plastic surgery you want and so very much deserve. You are a star in my book, hanging skin or not. You are alive, you beat down the monster and give the rest of the Stage IV's much hope.

    Hugs - Tina

    Good luck!
    Jennie,

    I think it's awesome you've lost all that weight! I've been trying to lose a lot less than that and have been somewhat unsuccessful. Hope you get the all clear first of all, and then I hope you have successful plastic surgery. I'll be praying for you!

    *hugs*

    Scan
    Prayers being said for good results on the scan. Hoping that you keep that second appointment for the surgeon. Sure you will feel so much better about having all that extra skin off. Congratulations on the weight loss that is a lot to lose. Keep us informed about the test.

    You got it Jennie, but ??
    Jennie, I'll gladly pray and send good thoughts your way. I did wonder if you can have that surgery and not use pain killers. Will that be a concern?

    GO FOR IT!!!!!!
    Jennie,
    Damn, you lost almost ½ of me. Proud of you!!!! As for cutting the excess off – GO FOR IT. You can’t fight this cancer crap when you don’t feel good about yourself. It drains your body’s energies. Your body’s warriors need that energy. Stay positive!!!

    My prayers are with you.

    Prayers and Good Vibes!
    Jennie,

    I am saying a prayer right now for excellent scan results. I know you deserve a break this time! And as for the weight loss, congratulations! That is amazing and you deserve to put the skin issue first. Go see that plastic surgeon. Just do it!

    Let us know your results. We will be anxious to hear.

    Hugs and Healing,
    Priscilla
