On a side note, whichever surgery I choose will require cosmetic surgery as well. I never would have done it other wise, but I can really use to go down a cup size and take care of the effects of a few decades of gravity! So when this is done I will have wonderful boobs that looked like they did when I was twenty again :p
Poor boobies. Lets have a moment of silence.


Seriously tho, I hope everything goes well.

Yes Moo I knew, and hope with all my heart that it everything goes well. I have been going to get in touch with you too but I got sidetracked by a crisis of my own.

Tuesday night I found my husband in the bathtub, he had cut both wrists. He's ok physically, the wounds were not deep but he is in the psych unit of the hospital right now. I talked with him and his current therapist today and told him that I will do everything in my power to help him get healthy, but I won't lift another finger to help him continue his addictions and die. He's been told that if he chooses not to get treatment for those problem, he will not be allowed to come back to this home. So far, he's choosing treatment.

I on the other hand, am exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally and will be working on finding a therapist for myself as well. I need to get well np matter what hubby chooses.

Thank you Fran. I wasn't going to post about it but I decided that this is my family and I wanted to let you all know what's up with me if I'm not around as much right now. I'm still doing the tech support emails and checking in here as often as I can.

And I certainly didn't mean to sidetrack from Moo's illness and her tough fight ahead! Moo we love you and are all praying for you!

Bov, I am so sorry to hear that. I guess it is good that we did not PM each other as that would have been one sorry exchange of thoughts! You have not side tracked anything! It was never my intention to bring my worries to this thread. I was not even going to mention it, however, your response got me thinking you must know what is going on and I couldn't help to ask. Guess the world wide web is a tinier place then we like to think it is!

As for me if you want to chat or just need a friend, you ALWAYS know how to find me. Please do not hesitate to reach out. A few misbehaved cells in my left boob certainly do not make your issues less real or your need for support less important.

And really I feel great, actually I feel 100% healthy! I've been really tired, but it is not a health issue, it turns out that keeping a positive attitude is very tiring work :p

The hardest part of this all is choosing between the lumpectomy and the full mastectomy of both breast, if the genetic test comes back positive then the hard part of choosing is over. If not it just requires a little more thought as to what percentage of risk of return I am comfortable. Rough road or not, I can't change this, so I am just trying to look at it as a little speed bump in life and some pain and discomfort that will give me a better appreciation for all that is incredible around me! A 3 to 4 month speed bump really isn't that bad. I've been very active in the breast cancer cause for many years now and I know there are others who have and will suffer more then I can imagine, I'm just glad that is not me!

    Keeping positive is very tiring sometimes, but it does help. I couldn't help but laugh at your comment about how our PMs would have been LOL! I know you know my mom died from BC, but I have not had the gene test done. In your case, I think it is a great choice, and will help you make really hard decisions.

    Just knowing that people care is a huge comfort to us both right now...no words necessary :)
