    Isn't it exciting. Did you get the soft silicone with gel on the interior. I wanted the CAMI too but they were on back order. I feel whole again. They look so real. You got to celebrate .. Do something special for yourself.

    Well this is the second time I trying to send you a message but my internet went down. Hey worried about you. First off its normal to feel like you are right now. We go thru a flurry of activity leading up to our surgery and we never get a chance to think. Then all of a sudden it catches up with us. The trick is not to let it get a hold of us. I have been thru 4 nasty diagnosis and chemo 5xs. I know the feeling of being out of control and alone. I am 65 and divorced. My daughter is grown...fantastic...of course I'm her mother so I will say that. I have my dog Gizmo. She was a rescue dog but I swear she rescued me. I think the trick is kicking yourself and putting a list of things you want to do together and a realistic time frame . Then begin attacking it. I start feeling more in control when I am doing things and better yet when I get them done. I think its taking back my life. I've tried to stay away from pills but sometimes taking something for a short term can help you get over the hurdle. You have a friend here. I told friends and family about this superwoman who went thru a mastectomy without pain. Gosh I envied you. Touch bases with me if you want to talk. This is the great thing about this site...you are not alone. Take care and feel better.

    I will be thinking about you today as you go through surgery. I hope it goes smoothly and you get the medications you need to be as comfortable as possible. As the anesthesiologist about a block for pain control. :) Hugs to you!

    You will be just fine, stage II is just like stage I, curable, be strong. One day you will look back and smile, you will beat that monster.
    Your cat will be fine too, leave her enough dry food and water, she will be your nurse when you will be back from the hospital. my prayers for a quick recovery, God is good and you will make it safe and sound my dear, hugs.

    Don't know what it is with us 55 year-olds! I was diagnosed in January and had surgery in February. Keep on your insurance - there are other ways to pay. Let your medical people know this.
