Sorry I haven't been in recently, but I've been away for a week, and neither my parents nor my in-laws have computers, never mind internet connections!!!!. You're in my thoughts and prayers, but I think you've already grasped the most important thing. This is an invader and getting it out is the priority. Whatever secondary impact the surgery has on our bodies, and however hard it is to come to terms with it, getting read of those cancer cells is vital. In hope the surgery goes well, and the histology is positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever secondary impact the surgery has on our bodies, and however hard it is to come to terms with it, getting read of those cancer cells is vital. I was an awful teenager. I was about 13 when my mom had to deal with (what I realize NOW was) a very difficult decision. After having had one lump removed, the breast cancer had returned. While it was up to her whether to have a masectomy or not, I couldn't understand her hesitation. "Lose it, Mom!" (I die a thousand deaths every time I think about it. What an ass, I was.) My mom was shocked at my attitude. I'm not sure I ever shared my fears with her. I remember wondering how in the world she would care about breasts when her very life was in danger, and I was pissed that it was even a question in her mind. She told me a few days later that she had decided to have the masectomy but gave me the raised eyebrow for having been so brassy about it. She said I was right, that it wasn't worth the risk of not having it since this was Round 2. Besides, it was just a boob anyway. She said if she had to choose a body part to lose, a breast would be it. She would not rather lose a hand, or a leg, (or an eye, Madra ) or a lung or even a butt-cheek (since she sits on that.) But a boob? She had already breast-fed nine (9) kids and was still happily married. (She and Daddy had a running joke that whoever filed for divorce had to take the children. ) The masectomy cured her for good. She will be 73 this year still happily married.

madra sneachta Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thinkin' about ya today Carol - See you back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaotica Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Well Carol met with the surgeon today They will be booking surgery within 10 days.... She has to do blood work before she goes in ( no big surprise there) Then the day of surgery, First they must insert a dye that they can go into her lymph nodes and they remove the one lymph node first ... dissect the node and if there is any cancer cells they will remove the rest of the nodes when they remove the tumor and surrounding tissue (1/2") Then she must wait another 10 days to find out if all cancer cells are removed.... if they didn't get it all, they will then go back in and remove more tissue until they get it all. After all that she will have a meeting with the oncaligest (sp?) and they will decide what measures will be taken to prevent this from happening again... i.e chemo/radiation what have you. I have posted this on behalf on blonde77th/Carol and will continue to do so when she can not.... My prayers are with her for she is the strongest women I know ... besides sundog... I will be there the day she has surgery and will post after.... ps she will be home the same day of her surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hey B. I didn't see this until Donal posted the link in his appreciation thread. Sorry, i don't visit the NWW much. Okay... i don't as much since CeeJ is home anyway. I wish you all the best Carol. I know a certain other Carol (CeeJ), who went through this TWICE and though it was not the most fun of all experiences in her life, she came through with flying colors due to early detection. I've told her about this thread and she'll be posting later. I have added you to my prayers Carol and I know that you'll be fine. Good luck anyway and keep us all updated.

blonde77th Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) Ty Ken and i would love to hear from your friend i have been hoping to find someone who had gone through this before i would love to talk to ceeJ & am so happy she came threw with flying colors !!!But she had to go through it 2x's once is enough for me !!!

CeeJ Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 sorry that the first time i get to actually "talk" to you is this but i hope to give you a bit of hope. i was 22 and found a lump in my breast...the doctor said is was probably nothing yet scheduled me to have an ultrasound and a mammogram...turns out what he saw needed to be biopsied for further evaluation.i went in have the lumpectomy about 1 week after the mammo. the surgeon i had was wonderful...when i woke after my surgery he explained that from the "looks" he would recommend i start radiation therapy cause even before the results came back he believed it was cancer.i was a real mess...i had a 5 years old son and now i was being told i have cancer...all i could do was think ..i am going to die and what will happen to my baby. i got set up with the radiation therapy and started 3 days after my surgrey..i was really scared of getting sick and such..to be honest..i was tired a bit more than usual and i was burned from the radiation (the doctors can give you a rx for the burn to help it heal) but i felt good. i didn't feel like i had cancer. i was suppose to have 36 treatments over a 12 week period but i ended up having 1/3 of it knocked off...i only needed 24!!! i felt wonderful, was considered in remission and a success story. i could now go back to being a happy mommy to my son. thank you to the man above. about 5 years ago i found a lump in my breast...9 years after the first time..i was a basket case and thought noone can get by this twice. the surgeon i had the first time was no longer in this states therefore i needed to find a new dr. i had the mammo and was told it needs to be removed.. another lumpectomy..this can't be happening..why me again? i had the surgery scheduled and came through withflying colors and this time it showed i DIDN"T have cancer!! i still need to have a mammogram every year and read as much as i can regarding cancer and getting through. i know that if i got by way back in 1991 and it was a false alarm in 2001...i need to believe that i will be alright.. if you want to talk or you have questions let me know if i can be of any assistance. Good Luck and keep your hope and faith. y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
