Dang almost overslept but Inatly15 said:Carkris, Laurissa, Cypress
Carkris, Laurissa, Cypress Cynthia and VickiSam can you hear that wonderful song Stef wrote for all of us. It's a noisy bus for sure and we pinks are singing and praying for best possible outcomes for each of you. Remember girls take it easy on the wine, binets, brownies, pizza and the cookies. We need a bit of decorum as we storm those doctors offices. (((((Hugs))))
Dang almost overslept but I made it. Thanks for honking the horn ladies.. Oh wait I better check to make sure I have everything on, for some reason there's a breeze on my backside. Geesh... I better stay seated. Can someone bring me some wine?
Loving thoughts and prayers are with all you ladies today, check in with results so we can continue partying...
Hugs,

It can be so stressful just preparing for the appointments~ take a few deep breaths, and rest in knowing we are all lifting you both up in thoughts and prayers.

as we continue on to C.C.'s and Carkis .. appointments. Whew -- so freaked out today, almost had an anxious attack due to fears and nerves.
I will get my blood analysis work up by 1:00 p.m. Wednesday -- but everything else check out - okay.
No need for mammo -- bilateral, express my concern about the 8% recurrence rate due to our skin, muscle and tissue left as a bilateral gal! Dr. M states I may have more like 2-3% -- if any, according to his previous patients - 32 years of practice, etc. If there is a recurrence it will present itself on the surface of our newly formed breast (Bambi and Barbie - in my case) -- in between our skin and implant. Dr. M insist taht all his bilateral women, perform monthly self breast examines to catch any flesh inconsistencies, or lumps.
I will continue to see Dr. M - once every 4 months for the next 2 years -- 11 months out from Herceptin, and 1 year and 5 months from Taxotere/Taxol and Carboplatin --.
No need for Pet/Cat scan or MRI .. --- I insisted! I was ....then tutored on the radiation exposure to my body from scans. Dr. M studies and his personal medical experiences indicate that recurrence of cancer is found thru blood testing, illness, change in health, or quick weight loss without dieting. Decisions ... Ugh
Now 2 days of waiting for blood results.
