I love my breast surgeon!

Can I just say how much I love her. After much thought yesterday and thinking of every worst case scenario. I sent Dr. G an email this morning and 45 minutes later I have a phone call with a very reassuring voice stating that it is a fibroid cyst but to give me piece of mind they will biopsy next week and then she will see me right afterwards! I love her! So next week I will have that done and then be set for surgery in November! Yeah! So happy! I am also going to see if she can give me a tenative date for the reconstruction so I can have some sort of time frame in my mind.

Hanging halfway off the mountian...

I jinxed myself. Dr. H (the radiation oncologist) office called today to see if they can have copies of my original scans done in October 2012. This does not sit well with me. I am running worst case scenarios around my brain tonight. Ugh.  Because of this I just really want to call the breast surgeon and ask to get the right breast mastectomy done now and then still do the reconstruction in November. I am so glad that I have decided to have this done because I would not be able to handle going in for mammograms every year.
So more to come glad that I have my prescription for the sleeping pills looks like I will need it.

I'm Free....sort of......

Today I had my appointment with the medical oncologist can I tell you how much I love Dr. M! She is so sweet and understanding of my fears. I have a lump/cyst on my right breast we are saying for now it is a cyst. Best case scenario it is a benign cyst worst case it is DCIS. Because it has not grown any bigger but I can feel it when someone is touching it we are going to keep an eye on it. Since I am getting rid of the right breast anyway and it will go through pathology either way it really doesn’t matter.

My next appointment is with the breast and plastic surgeon (who Dr. M called the dynamic duo) in August. Onward and upward!

I'm finally done!

I am all done with my radiation treatments. They ended on Tuesday the 4^th. I had 30 treatments in total. I look bad and am hurting bad. It is tough to sleep on most nights. I know it will heal but right now it looks like a very bad burn which it is. There is no pink ribbon cuteness here.

My PET scan came back all clear. That was a huge relief. Next one is scheduled for October.  

On Wednesday I started the hormone Letrozole so far good. No real problems yet.

Monday I start my three month appointments with the oncologist. So we shall see what happens then and the next steps.

On August 9^th I see the breast and plastic surgeon to set my dates for reconstruction. That I am looking forward to. I am ready for this to be somewhat over. I know it will never truly be over and I will be seeing the doctors every three months but in the end it is all worth it.
