    You Go Girl!
    Mary,

    Glad to hear you have taken control of your own health and made these decisions which are best for you. I always say we are our own best advocate. I sometimes tell the doctors what I want to do or need. I know my body better than they do any day of the week. Hoping your new results are good too. Praying for you. Way to go girlfriend!

    Terry

    I think we should all send
    I think we should all send Sloan a thank you card for taking good care of you Mary! Just so glad you are with them now!

    Yes I am feeling
    I am more in control. I saw the surgeon at Rockefeller Pavillio on E 53rd St (11th floor). I wanted to see if I could get an MO in NJ but I really didn't see one that had a specialty with breast cancer. I would have to go to NYC for appointments. It's really not what I want to do. The pulmonary specialist is an hour plus from where I live, so I decided to stick closer to home. I found a great one at the hospital I've been getting all my care at. Every doctor I've been to at this hospital has been wonderful and caring. SO I expect the same from this specialist.

    I go back to see the surgeon towards the of August. But anytime before that appointment would be good to visit with you. How wonderful it is to have sisters so close by.

    Hi Mary - Sorry this is not
    Hi Mary - Sorry this is not the location you wanted. But good to know you're near! Please send me a pm when you stop by again. I am supposed to see a pulmonary specialist too due to a cough I've been dealing with. I work in the city so if you want me to come with you to an appt. I can certainly arrange that. I take the 6 train downstairs (in front of my work building, only a few stops away from Sloan! So let me know. <3

    Or we can have a lunch together too... :)

    I love your spirit
    You know, getting mad was what I needed. Put a fire under this one's **** and things start happening. I am looking forward to meeting my new oncologist. I have a renewed sense of positive energy within and I know I will find the answers I so desperately need.

    Thanks for keeping me in your prayers. I've been doing the same for all of the pink sisters and brothers I've come to know on this board.

    I wish we could all just put this disease behind us and never think about it again. When I finished active treatment (in March) the only thought I had was "I am never looking back. It's done. I'm done" Boy, was I hit in the head with a brick! There was no way I could've prepared for the after shock. Who would think that "the end" of a chapter has more chapters??? When I am through with this next chapter, I will quietly close the book but a bookmark will remain just in case I have to pick up the book again.

    Where do you live Rebecca? I am on the east coast (NJ). It would be so nice to meet you in person.

    In the meantime ... May the force be with you.

    Brooklyn, NY
    I live in Brooklyn NY and work in the city. It would be great to meet you too Mary!! Just send me a pm or something and we can plan a date. Kay and Liliana (don't recall their names from this forum), and I are planning to have lunch in the city one of these Saturdays. Are you on facebook with the pink sisters? It would be nice if the 4 of us could meet up. :0)
