After 5 years closer to kissing this thing goodbye!!!

Hey All!!

Well Negative Genetic Testing results last week and today my Surgeon catchup. He's ecstatic with the results and it takes a double mastectomy off the table. He said both times i have had aggressive treatment and particularly with Chemo this time, so I am all Clear. Next stop referred to a Plastic Surgeon to discuss the mastectomy and reconstruction. It wont happen til next year he said. but once that is done and complete, I can put these past 5 years to rest now. This is my last piece and amazing isnt it in the thick of it all you cannot see the end or the light at the end of the tunnel...but now I see it...feeling super blessed! TWice was twice too much!!!! 

Hugs to everyone hoping everyone is coping ok tonight?

  • Hi Melinda - good to hear that your ducks are all lined up and the finish line is closer than ever.  What has happened is behind you and there was a saying put up on here by Lou? on the old forum that I will put here now as it is very relevant to you at present:

  • Thanks!!! Absolutely, been a long haul and its not long til this final piece now! Something to really strive for now and I never thought I would, so its humbling. xx
  • Hey Melinda, Congratulations - do you realise next year is only a short  2 1/2 (approx) months away - you're THAT close!! Soon you'll be looking back at this whole experience. Wishing you enjoyment and happiness in the leadup to the completed new you!! Xx Cath
  • Great news for you. I had a great experience getting a second opinion on surgery today so it was a good day. Second lot of chemo starts tomorrow!
