I went to visit with Dr. Morijver today at University of Michigan. I’m glad I did. It clarified some things for me….especially concerning the mastectomy. She was (to say it mildly) pretty firm that I do need the mastectomies. It’s not really an option if I want to stay away from recurrence. In her words….”I have a very serious disease” and I need to do it to be cured.
So I’m ready to do it. Hopefully we can get it on the calendar soon so I can gear up for it.
She also got on me about being in the sun…..woops. Guess that was a bad idea. I guess I am a bit too red. I guess I need to stay in the shade while on chemo. She also mentioned I may need to have a few doses of chemo again after radiation…..ugh….after my hair starts growing back. But I guess if I need to do it I will.
And….after all the lectures, she looked at my breasts and they look great! (It feels a bit silly to say that) But they do! Even the lymph nodes feel great she said. No swelling or hardening. They feel completely normal….just a bid of redness on my right breast where the inflammation was.
Thanks for praying….
