Well here I am, tomorrow is the big day. Double mastectomy with lymph node removal (hope neg)My family and I (my husband and daughter) drove 4 hours to the cancer tx center that I had picked(they are wonderful) Ellis Fishel and University hospital in Columbia, MO. Tired, Scared, my daughter was a little agitated at times with all the pre-op stuff but everyone was kind of somber. I am really worried she is handling everything ok. she will start school August 14th (senior) I will let everyone know how it went in a couple of days.

    Good Luck you Tomorrow
    You'll be in my thought and prayers. I'll also be at the hospital tomorrow having my re-incission, good luck to you Deb, mine should be a piece of cake compared to yours.

    I also have a daughter who will be a senior this year. She's the one out my three kids I worry about the most also, she's more emotional, and sometimes, more impatient as well. She was there for my first surgury (6 hours in all from arrival to departure) and she'll be there for the next. You daughter will get through this and so will you, It's hard for them to see mom going through all this, they have more of a sense of reality, but are sometimes not quite mature enough, to deal with things.

    I wish I had some real words of wisdom for you, but I have the same worries my self, what I do notice is that for my daughter it is easier for her to express her feelings and let the tears roll, when needed, when she talks to other close adult friends where she can find comfort.

    So I encourage those friends ships. I'm lucky because I got her a job were I work and she talks to the women friends there that I work with. And they in turn let me know she's doing okay.

    I'll be with you in thought and prayer tomorrow, Plaese let us know how you're doing whenever you're able.
