Sharon's Update

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

Sorry I have not posted in awhile. It has been quite the week for

me!

I recently had an appt. with my GYN as well as my Oncologist

(routine check). My ONC dr. is sympathetic to the idea that my

breast implants could be causing my symptoms...he said to stay the

course and continue the diagnostic process with the docs, referrals,

etc. That is what I am doing, as well as keeping my own records on

blood test results, etc. My family doc feels the same. My GYN

didn't know what to say, except she is more concerned with my most

recent symptoms.....heavy bleeding and severe anemia! (just started

again in the past 2 weeks) This is a broken record for me...occurred

many times both pre and post breast cancer. Now I am faced with

having a hysterectomy (total) next week!! Doesn't appear that I

have a lot of choice at this point due to the anemia that keeps

resurfacing as well as cancer risk. What do you all think? I am

concerned about the auto immune symptoms delaying my recovery, and

then having immediate menopause to deal with as well!!

Good news, though, I have prayed about the implant situation, and my

husband has as well, we have come to the conclusion that I need to

get them out as soon as a qualified dr. will do it. So....thank you

all, esp. for your references to Dr. Feng. I talked at

length to , the manager, and she was so nice, understanding and

full of advice. I am booked for explant on March 24th with Dr.

Feng!!! I am hoping I will recover enough from the surgery I am

scheduled for next week to do it.

Thank you all for caring, for all the great advice, to Rogene for

the ABC's of Faith and also the illustration of God riding with us

through life - all very encouraging!

God's blessings,

Sharon
