you can do this!
as a fellow ibc gal, i wish you nothing but the best. like you, i was more concerned with the scans than the surgery.
surgery really wasn't that bad, for me it was the left breast and since i am right-handed, that made it a bit easier. recovery from the surgery was surprisingly easy (in fact easier than from the second lymph node biopsy i had)!!
after a few weeks of physical therapy, i started radiation. happy to say that after tomorrow morning, i will have completed two weeks of rads - only three and a half to go!!!
i'll be thinking of you tomorrow during your scans and will be holding your hand in surgery on the 23rd!
sending you brave waves, hugs, and lots of prayers,

Yes your posts have been of great interest to me as you seem to be just a few weeks ahead you what I am doing. did you do chemo, surgery, then rads? if so how long in between surgery and rads? Again thank you for being with me through this next week and beyond. Patti0 -

wishing you well
Hoping and praying that your surgery goes well next week. I have surgery on Monday after Thanksgiving (re-incision of my first lumpectomy, for clearer margins). We'll get through this just like we did the chemo. : )
take care.

Each step we make is one
Each step we make is one step closer to living Life After Cancer~ congratulations on finishing Phase One! We always remind each other that none of us is alone for the journey, and that by this time the surgeons are getting used to maneuvering their way around the myriad Kindred Spirits in the operating room with you!

Congrats on finishing step one. Chen is right, the doctors are so good at side stepping all of us in the operating rooms and they don't seem to mind all the prayers and good wishes being spoken throughout the surgeries either. We crowd ourselves into all the rooms, operating, scans, radiation and chemo just to be there when we are needed so know that you will have your own paparazzi with you whenever you go.0 -

Went to see the Onc yesterday afternoon and got a great report, dr was actully smiling and laughing with us. My surgery is later today, and now going into it with this piece of great news is making it easier to do. Thank you all for being there for me. I will be back in a few days.
Even with all that we are going through we have plenty to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.0 -
