WEDDINGS!!!!!!!
My son does have a little bit of romance in his bones. Recently he and his girlfriend went to Europe on vacation. First my son has been wanting to go to Germany forever. And to see the Neuschwanstein Castle was like the ultimate. They went to visit a friend in Amsterdam, then went to Berlin, Munich, and…

Impatience Sets in
I really hate seromas! There was less build up on the left sie (25cc) and just a little more on the right (16 cc). So I so I go back on Friday and get drained again. Depending how much fluid build up is there they may put the tubes back in. And they would remain…

Tigger!!!!
I go into the Surgeon to get drained again today. Hoping there isn’t as much fluid build up so I can start physical therapy and radiation and get this show on the road!. It’s been a little over a month since surgery. This by far I think has been the hardest part for me. Chemo…

The word for today is: Seroma
Had a lovely day at the hospital yesterday. Met with my Medical Oncologist to see how things are and what’s next on the agenda. We made an appointment with my Radiology Oncologist to see how that is going to play out and how long that treatment will be. Then I went over to my Surgeon…

Surgery
Wednesday I went in for the bilateral mastectomy with lymph node dissection. I was pretty okay for the most part. After surgery they said I woke up in recovery but I don’t remember any of it. I was taken into my room. I don’t remember much of the first night…just bits and parts. Strange because…

T minus 40 hours
I’m sitting here trying to rationalize this whole surgery thing. I’ve been racking my brain to find the positives. 1. There is a good chance I won’t have to worry about breast cancer in the future. 2. They won’t get in the way when I do things 3. Running will be more comfortable 4. Don’t…

5 Days Out
My drain holders came today. whoo hoo. How exciting. (feel the sarcasm) I’ve been reading a lot and watching videos of people who have gone though this. I say people because men can get breast cancer too and go though this surgery. I’m trying to prepare myself. Not sure if its helping or hurting at…

The countdown begins
I’m now one week out before surgery. I have my button down attire and my drain packs on there way. I have figured out my show line up of Netflix and downloaded shows to keep me entertained. I have the book ready once I’m over the show catch up. I’ve got about 2 weeks of…
