Hey all! Just an update...my implants are the biggest they make 800 cc's, but on me they are not as big as they would be on a normal girl. Hahaha, I'm not normal, we all already knew that! The doc had to cut out so much tissue from my chest wall the implant has to take up some space inside my chest as well, thats why they call it breast reconstruction. I am a very large C cup or a small D cup....time will tell once they settle. I had a Pet Scan last week and it shows no cancer, just a 2.2 cm mass in front of my heart. Today I get a call I have to have a Cat Scan tomorrow to find out more about the mass, depending on the mass the doc may send me to a lung specialist. I'm soooooo confused right now, I'm not sure which way to turn. At least we're getting back to our poker tournaments to take my mind off all of this! Update on my neice Marissa, she is very close to being reunified with her Dad! They love each other so much and as I said before she belongs with her father. I will miss her and she will be in my life ALOT!!!!! As usual, thanks for listening. xoxoxo

I am so sorry for what you have been through ,I am a firm believer that Positive thinking goes a long way when you are battling Cancer .I am a big girl too and I am sure 'normal implants' would get lost in my armpits somewhere too lol.How are you feeling?I have a friend who lost both breasts to Cancer and last two years have been difficult ,she just started her reconstruction about 3 months ago.You made it this far ,I am sure the Mass is worrying you but please stay strong for now and think good things!

Just wanted to say as the owner of 42DD and weighing 160 pounds I wanted to get a reduction .I hated my breasts because I am top heavy and buying a dress to fit my boobs means i am wearing a flour sack on the bottom.If it were not for my husband's attachment to them i would be very happy as a 36B .My friend wore bags of water in her bra for a week thinking she wanted bigger and thank god she didn't go that route.I will say additional prayers for your back ,neck and shoulders lol

Ha! Tracy you're funny. I wanted the bigger the better....but something is better than nothing. I do have some nice clevage, I just have to get used to them. Now my husband is ready to do some shots !!!! I feel good and have a positive attitude, I'm just tired of all the scans and doctors. Too many scans can kill ya. Then one day hearing about my heart, the next my lungs and they don't really know what it is. I'm having my Cat Scan now at 7:45 in the morning. I'm not sure if this is the right decision or not. Does your friend have triple negative bc? That's what I have and it's hard to learn about. For example, it is ok for me to have dairy? I get caught up on the internet and loose a grip on all the information out there. Last year, I said I'm looking forward to 2010, now I say I'm looking forward to 2011. I really need a break from all the appointments. Thanks for listening, this has really become kind of like my bc diary...

Hooray for new boobies! I'm always praying for you, sis, remember that. I'm glad Marissa is getting back with her dad. I know you will miss her but I do hope you'll get to see her and be as involved in her life as you want to be. Please keep us updated.

And also enjoy the pictures for me, ok? Love you!

Hey all! I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for a biospy of my tymus gland. Never even heard of it til last week. I'll probably be spending the night and will be back online as soon as I feel better. Lets all do a shot and say a prayer my cancer is not back! It's a pretty scary surgery in the morning, c-ya soon!
