Week 2 with Breast Cancer

Yesterday was the end of the most stressful week of my life to date! Bar none! Probably more then that due to having a partner so close to the situation and a son both stressing so the house of jumpy to say the least. We saw Dr. Tate and she was great. But now is the time to decide what type of treatment. I am in favor of the bilateral mastectomy (taking both breasts) however I haven't seen Dr. Skanes who would be doing the reconstruction so when I come out of her office I will be more at peace I hope.
I cannot tell you if you haven't gone through this how tough this is. If I had a tooth causing cancer I would have it pulled. Done finito. But when its the breasts its weird I mean no one can see them and when you wear clothes who can tell if they are pretty, big, I mean wow. But then we don't breast feed with our teeth, or grab our children and others and pull them to our mouths we pull to our bosom. We pull to the comfy warm loving place. Sex well we could turn the lights out!!! Yup lots of decisions. At the end of the day many have died from cancer and it spreading. I have a chance to arrest it. I that means taking my beautiful (let me tell you they are ) breasts then so be it.
