Hi Gwen,
Just stay possitive. Your mind can do wonderous things as far as healing
your body. Keep God close to you too. I will be here for you and help in
anyway that I can.
Love, hugs & prayers to you and yours,
Nanc ():-)

Hi. Just wanted to give you an update on my situation.
I have sought three opinions, and have just decided Friday, that I have to
go with the double mastectomies, since all three doctors tell me that is my
best chance of survival at this point. I told them I will be available for
surgery week of June 28th. After healing from this (supposed to be simple,
not radical mastectomies), I will start chemo. Might turn out to be Dolly
Partin - implants, big boobs, and a wig!
I am of course dreading the surgery as I am 48 (too young in my opinion) a
large busted women, and they tell me mastectomy and saline implant surgery
can take four hours. I have already been under anesthetic two times this
past month for lumpectomy rt brst (1), and then one week later lymph node
removal - rt arm. (Third time under anesthetic is a little more riskier,
drs. say). Right before chemo was to start - a new place on lft brst which
turns out to be DCIS and LCIS. Rt brst was malignant stage II/III. So the
doctors said tuff luck - very tuff luck - but now we need t get rid of both
of them. So chemo is now going to held off for 6 more weeks - which is not
desired. They usually start chemo 4-6 weeks after first surgery. So,
bottom line, I feel that God is going to look after me on this one. I
certainly can't.
Love, Gwen K.
