Well my sister had her app't with the surgeon today. She is scheduled for a modified radical mastectomy on August 12th. They can even start the reconstructive part at that time if they can get a plastic surgeon who'e schedule fits. And her insurance will pay for the unaffected breast to also have surgery to match the affected one. I jokingly told her that she will be messing up my Olympics watching! But I guess that's what nerves do to you.
Now for my mammogram. I had it today. Actually it was scheduled for yesterday but I put it down for today. When I told them that my sister was having her surgeons app't today and this was my way of feeling close to her during that appointment, they immediately worked me in. But......after I was done and they sent me merrily on my way after I took off my little BBs, they called me back and told me the radiologist saw a mass on both breasts and wants them repeated. So I go back Friday. I know any other time I wouldn't be worried about it. I know that other tissue can get in the way of the breast, cysts show up or anything else. But right now was not a good time for that. So that's my story. |

Oh my dear...
You are in my thoughts and prayers today...you and your sister have some definite challenges ahead... I'm glad that you went for your mammogram...even though they might have found something suspicious, thank God you went and now you can get treated if something is wrong... Your sis' cancer prompted you to take care of yourself...I know it's strange to say this, but her cancer has helped you by scaring you into going in. I hope and pray that your mammogram is just a bad photograph, but if it's something serious, I pray that your dr. can provide treatment and healing... Take care of yourself...you're not alone...let us know how you and your sis are doing, okay?

This has nothing to do with my sisters surgery but has to do with her. Years ago she decided to donate her body to a med school to be a cadaver. My mother was just petrified that there would be no grave or anything and what people would be doing to her body. Now this surgery has brought all those bad feelings up. I went to the IU school of medicine website and read all about the cadaver program. It is very interesting. My Mom and sister finally had a long talk today and I think things are finally settling between them.
