Dear Finita So glad to read your biopsy results were good. It is often good to have a really good cry. It is a tremendous release. I remember when I was half considering breast reconstruction, my surgeon sent me to another surgeon, whose method was different fro hers, & she thought would be more appropriate for me. I went all the way to another town, a kind friend took me, & he said he'd rather not do it-for many reasons, not the least of which was because I has some secondary mets in my back, high blood pressure, & some other stuff. This was his opinion. I went home & had a big cry. I think it was more out of frustration. There was one surgeon telling me I could have a breast rec, but a diff way to the way she did it, I went back to her, she read his remarks, said they were all "valid reasons" , then proceeded to tell me we could do it her way! I was so angry-especially the way it was done. I was in a regional area, so there was a McGrath nurse supporting me through my journey as well. I'll never forget the day-the McGrath nurse came out and and asked me if I'd reconsider reconstruction my surgeons way. I said definitely not, & that my next op would be on my hip. So then I went into the surgeons room with the nurse, & the surgeon was quite put out,angry even, that I'd decided not to have one! I mean really-my body-my decision! I confronted the McGrath nurse later about the tension during the appt, & the surgeons off-handedness with me. She didn't agree, & stuck by the surgeon all the way! Dontcha just love the "system" sometimes! Sorry, I went on a bit. So glad you are all good, & even more glad we have this forum to air our experiences. Would love to hear from others who've had similar experience during their journey. Hugs to all Love from Kathleen. Xxx
