hey poker kitty, you're always in my thoughts and prayers (i don't pray everyday but I do when I feel like it) I know the feeling of recovery. I can't say I know about Cancer because I've been blessed (knock on wood) to not have it. I did however have a hysterectomy and lost every chance of ever of having another baby. I was however blessed with one baby, a beautiful boy. he's now 9 years old and I thank God everyday for him. I will never forget the pain of after surgery. In some way we're the same, you lost something personal and so did I, but you have the chance to get another, I on the other hand can't get another womb.. but i see the importance of a women's breast. With me it was partially my fault why it came about, with you, you had no choice and that's what makes it wrong. I wish we all lived in a perfect world and there was no cancer, no mistakes, no reason to lose. But we don't and i know it probably doesn't mean much but I'm glad you get to get that boob back and I'm sorry it hurts so much. don't overdue anything, when the dr's say rest, they mean rest.

Thanks Tay, I luv u too. Twenty, I also had a hystorectomy a couple of years ago. I waited until I was over 40 because I wanted kids. I never got pregnant so my brothers and sisters have shared theirs with me since birth. I have alot of relationships with alot of kids, I have about 33 neices and nephews under the age of 20. We have 4 newborns in the family this year and 1 already to pop into the new year. That's what happens when your decides to pop out 10 of her own. I'm really over the baby thing at this point and happy with not having any. I had no choice but to change my attitude on that one. Right now as a few days ago, I have my 10 year neice living with me by court orders. I would rather her be here than in a foster home. This is not the first time I have been down this road. I come from a very disfunctional family. I wish one day we will have a world of no cancer. Alot of us do. Hey B...my port feels like it is fragile, like if I roll over it might pop out. I know it won't, but because it's new to me I feel it. I was able to shower and my bandages off today. I also had a cardiogram today. That's like an ultrasound of your heart. They want to make sure my heart is strong for the chemo they are going to give me. Hey Tay, I thought about shaving my head now, but my doctor said to wait because I won't loose my hair until about 3 weeks after my first treatment. One of my members at work gave me a short red headed wig. It's pretty sexy. My green eyes look blue when I have it on. I have to buy a couple more this week and get myself prepared. Thank you all for the advice and inspiration you have given me. You are all helping more than you will ever know. I do appreciate you!

Hey Pokerkitty, I'm sure it is very uncomfortable. No it wont pop out but it is always good to be careful. Hopefully they get it done and out in no time. With a quick total remission status. I am sure your heart is plenty strong it is standard procedure for this type of treatment. (It's a strong one) Your doctors seem to be quick and on the ball that is a nice feeling to know that you are in good care. A positive attitude like you have is the number one key to getting well. This has not been easy on you and it's not getting any easier just yet is it? You just keep smiling and knowing you have it beat and it will get better soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you every single day! Don't hesitate if you need to talk or anything. Okee Dokee ...Lori
