Re: Mastectomy Day + 2

My 2nd bone scan--I was waiting for them to say "hold your breath' and the
lady walked back in and said "That's it" and I thought she was going to do
'more adjusting' like the first go round......its so much easier now. You
don't even have to time to really 'relax' and their kicking you out the door
: )

Butterfly (I'm going to start to glow now with all the 'yearly' x-rays I'm
getting.......had one of the 'broken foot' the last Dr visit---all is
healing very nicely. YAY!!!!!!)

I just read all the posts I love all the support. I'd be lost without
this group.. I stayed over 2 nights. Today I had another surgery to
instal
the port for the chemo. Reality hit me today and I broke down crying
before
surgery. I would like to go back in time or jump ahead in time...I just
dread what is ahead. I now have a stage name...it's Invasive Ductlal
Carcinoma ..stage two..... 3 of the 5 nodes tested positive. It keeps
becoming a nightmare. The chemo begins on the 24th of May. I've
basically
had 3 surgeries in 2 weeks. I need just a week to recoup but then again
I
need a muga scan and a bone scan yet. I think by the time I get the
chemo
hopefully I will be done with tests. I also won a make-over for
Mother's
Day at a salon. I am excited about that. I entered on a radio station.
I
get treated like a Queen...hopefully I will still have hair then...it's
on
the 5th of June...if not they can wax my head.

Don't worry about the bone scan, Pami -- it's a matter of lying on a
table and watching a machine move above you. I have it done regularly
because of my osteoporosis, and nothing even touches you -- totally
painless. :)

Congratulations on the make-over! It couldn't have gone to someone who
deserved it more right now. Hang in there and keep that positive
attitude. We're all pulling for you. :)
