I feel like I am a news reporting, reporting the daily news to one and all....
Yesterday's birthday events were wonderful, culminating in a wonderful call from Mesut in the middle of my sleep. I was so thankful to hear from him.
Today I went to my car to drive to work and my battery was dead. I had to have my roommate drive me to work (grumbling all the way). Then I told her she would also have to drive me to my dr appt because I would not have a new battery until I got a "jump" and went to the store. She was NOT happy.
I went through the day, having cupcakes with each of my classes and a parent conference (unplanned because of disrespectful behavior to me) and off I went in the pouring rain (again) to have my tattoo re-colored. I asked the lady doing the tat if my right breast looked different than the left and she said yes...it is concave. Because of reconstruction surgery, I have implants....I should not be concave. She said to contact the dr the next day (he was in surgery today) and I asked if he nurse was there. She came in to check me and said, Oh Faith. You have to have this restructured! ANOTHER SURGERY!!!!! the fifth one since Oct 31!!!!! I must go tomorrow to see the dr and find out what he recommends to repair the work. The nurse said since the surgery for cancer had been so extensive, there was no fator muscle to hold the implant still. They would probably have to take "fat" from another area of my body (not like there is a sparcity of fat), and place it into the breast!
I do not want to have anymore surgery but if I must, I don't want it done until school is finished!!!!! If it is life or death, which I do not think it is, I will have to have it sooner...but then I will have to repeat this year of work....and retirement will be postponed another year!!! Not acceptable!!!
I texted my niece Heather to tell her of my maladies...and she informed me she had gone in for her 6 month check up from her double mastectomy done in Sept.... and they found another suspicious nodule, which they immediately did an ultrasound and then an immediate needle biopsy. The biopsy did come back benign (Thank you God) but they are going to keep a close watch on it...to be sure the cancer does not return! Nice to know that when the dr's tell you that there is a less than 1% chance of breast cancer recurring after a double mastectomy (which we both had done at the same time for the same type of cancer), it shows up... not cancer yet, but the possibility is definitely more acutely known now.
Tonight I will telephone Mesut, after he goes to work, and inform him of what is happening here on the front line.... As for this family, we need many prayers!!! 2 sisters with heart problems which are not to be ignored by either sister and 2 other females conquering breast cancer!!! God help us all!!!! And HE will!!!!!!
