Good news is the pacemakers been put off at least a couple of years.  Nicchi was very please with the EKG the results of wearing the monitor for 24 hours and my pulse is up.  He signed a consent form so that I could go off the warfrin for 5 days and than go back on the next day after the operation.  Bad news is I have no surgery date yet.  It seems ( Read more... )

Saw the plastic surgeon or I should say I met her for the first time and she wasn't  what I was excepting.  I think that TV influences our lives more than we realize I was excepting this Hollywood version of a plastic surgeon when in reality I got reality-a really nice person.  She is a tiny little thing, very slender but with a man's grip that can ( Read more... )

Panic.  Do I feel this when I am with someone who can talk me thru it.  No, I'm usually by myself with myself and myself does damage.  I guess that's why they call it panic.  Normally I am a pretty cool person who can handle just about anything thrown her way but right now my mind is wandering and that's never good ( Read more... )

I do not have a rare form of cancer!  Which is good if you're going have cancer it's best to have one that people are familiar with and know how to deal with it.  I'm in Stage 2 Grade 2 the kind is DCIS.  Doctor Cox believes she has caught it fairly early and she recommends a lumpectomy with radiation.  I have to make up my mind on the radiation - ( Read more... )

and time is not flying by it's dragging.  It figures.  I am getting a little nervous now.  I want to know everything but I don't want to freak out and faint either.  When ever I get very stressed or under going a particular bad period of time my stomach acts up.  I don't normally get stress headaches I get stomach aches and it's harder for me to ( Read more... )

Well it's Saturday morning and I have four days to go before I see  the doctor. I'm gathering questions with the help of the internet but I can't help but wondering which ones am I missing?  I have never been in the situation before and I feel like an idiot for not being able to come up with questions on my own.  I mean my hands are shaking as I ( Read more... )

It's cancer.  The Big C Word.  I hadn't heard anything so I called the place where  I had the biopsy done and they told me that the results had been sent to my primary care doctor, who is a great doctor (Dr. Linda Brown) She a no nonsense fast talking sweet person.  Called her office they had the test results but Dr. Brown was out that day, but she ( Read more... )

I might find out the news today or this afternoon at least.  The doctor told me that their lab has a fast turn around.  I'll just be glad to know either which way.

Today is the day to get the biopsy and than the starting of waiting begins.  I sure hope it's sooner than later.  I keep thinking "have positive thoughts, don't think negative."  I don't listen to myself very well.  Need to work on that.  Will keep posting.  Thank you so much for replying to me it helps tremendously.
