- Breasts should not have pleat shaped folds in them. The doctor made it clear that due to the 2 sites of cancer and the distance between them my breast would look strange, but I never thought it would have a pleat in it. The pleat bugs me a lot. I see plastic surgery in my future.
- Setting up for radiation is supposed to be done tomorrow morning. However it can't start until the pathology report shows the margins are clean and no nodes are involved. The stupid adored oncologist won't know what he needs to know if he doesn't get the reports. They are late. I hate waiting.
- Physically I feel pretty good. I've done laundry, dishes, tiding and vacuuming. Al's happy.
- While I am not depressed I am anxious and on edge. Eating tones those feelings down but makes me depressed and angry.
- I'm writing this entry because I had ice cream and pecans for lunch and still want to eat.
- Writing helps.
- I sometimes think of things other then cancer.
- For example I adore Ruth, Kathie and Nancy especially. I adore everyone who has posted a comment or sent a card. I adore everyone who has said a prayer or sent a kind thought my way. I adore the all the doctors and nurses who have listened, offered advice, given me a hug or a warm handshake. I especially adore the nurse Sandy who made me laugh the morning of my surgery. I adore my in-laws who are two of the best people ever made.
- Oh that was thinking of things related to cancer. Humph.
- I hate waiting.
- I pray no lymph (first I typed nympo -which did give me a laugh, then I changed it to nymph and only realize that was also wrong when I was telling Al what I did) nodes are involved and the stupid ugly margins are clean.
- I need the names of good plastic surgeons. Those of you who want to fess up to plastic surgery do it now, with the name of the surgeon. Those of you that don't want to fess up tell me your sister or friend had the surgery. But only tell me if the surgeon was great.
- I did meet a plastic surgeon at St. Agnes. I didn't really like her. Just a gut feeling.
- I need strength to get through this.
- I adore each of you. Please pass some love.

I know two other persons who have had breast cancer but I think only one had reconstruction. They both live local to my area and probably used St. Agnes. I also know someone from my church that works at St. Agnes in the mamo area I could call her and ask what she knows. I'll inquire but it may not be until we get back from vacation before I have any info. to share with you.
If you come across a women at St. Agnes named Elise (sp?) in the mamo area (she is italian too with dark hair about shoulder length)... tell her you know me and ask if she has any recommendations for a reconstruction person.
Don't eat - exercise or knit, take a walk with the dogs!!!
PS I have a little something for you but you have to call me to get it!
Good Lookin
