Back to work..

So, it's back to work tomorrow...I am feeling fine and it's time.

Last week I saw the plastic surgeon on Monday. She said everything looked fine and I should come back in a month. We had a very long conversation about the next step. She strongly prefers to create a nipple and areola surgically. I talked to her about just doing a tattoo to make it look like a nipple and areola but she won't do it. I told her that I have seen photos of tattoos but she isn't going to budge. I did some research and found another doctor in the area that will do it. I talked to the nurse and she said I would need to come in so they can evaluate the scars to see if they will accept the tattoo. I am not in any rush so I told them I will call back later...

I also had an appt. with Dr. B. My blood work and exam all looked good so now I graduate to 6 month appts vs. 3 months. It's great to get to this milestone..two years ago this date seemed so far off. When you're first diagnosed you just live in the moment and the fear of not beating this horrible disease controls everything you do. You try so hard to not let the disease control your life but that is such a hard thing to do....the fear is always there. Over time it gets easier and today it's great that I don't think about it all the time!!!!

Well, I am not really in the mood to write so I think I will just sign off for now.....as always, thanks so much for checking in!!!!!
