Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 , I do know the feeling. As I was in the doctors office yesterday. I was kind of just frozen. When I came home I didn't want to talk about anything.. Just enjoy my children and my husband. You know this disease I guess helps you find out who is real and who is not. So where it makes you feel bad and hurts that people pull away from you. It just might be better you don't need weak people by your side. This is how I look at it... again I know we don't know each other but I am here and we will hold each other up... take it easy nancy thompson wrote: ready all the posts from every one makes me think ,more postive I think I can Ithink I can attitude I came home from my appt. yesterday meeting with the surgen ...it was all to much the relity of it hit hard...the type of surgery ...needing now what they call a pet scan to see if the canser is any place else in my body do I even want to know....the relity of the cemo ...the therpy I think he said hrt-2 for 5 years ....it was all a fog felt like I was in a cage with that surgen staring me down....was at the point of just loosing it all together but my parents were with and my husband I just couldn't put them thru it ...my husband has not talked to me sence yesterday ....sence the appt even went as far as sleeping in a tent in our back yard...nice huh....my parent took my kids and dogs back home with them ...so that is on worry off my mind ... nancy Theresa Towner wrote: Hi , I hope everything goes well for you. Remember to ask any last minute questions you have before your surgery. There has always been something I forgot to ask before and because of the anesthesia I didn't remember until I got home and started coming to my senses. I have just finished my fourth and hopefully my final surgery. I had bilateral mastectomies w reconstruction in Feb 05. Its been a long road but I am glad I did it. This last surgery was nipple and areola recon. Everything went well as I am sure it will for you. Make sure you have all your perscriptions filled and ready for you when you get home. I will light a candle for you and keep you in my thoughts.
