You'll be in my thoughts during my meditations. Tell the doctors and nurses before they give you your anesthesia that you only want positive comments made during your surgery. The body reacts to negative thoughts and healing can happen must faster when it's in a positive environment.

Hi Les,

I'm also having a mastectomy on Friday. I'll be praying for you. Say one for me too!

And btw, I'll be wearing my "F*** Cancer" hat proudly as they wheel me off to surgery.

Good luck to us both.

Did you have your party to say bye-bye to your breast last night? I had a similar one for my uterus. Your party plans sounded fabulous.

I'll send up a prayer for you on Friday (and before!).

I hope your surgery will go easy.

HI ladies!

I havent read this for a while...I am two weeks out, and aside from the drain and restrictions in my arm movement, it has gone really well. Minimal pain. Cant wait to get the drain out and be allowed to move my arm! They did find invasive cancer, and are looking into chemo/hormone therapy...so we are not done, but nodes were clear. I did go for a great massage on saturday, and am eating all sorts of wonderful veggies, etc. My energy is great! Thanks for all your love and support!
Leslie in Omaha!

OOOOPS!

Forgot to add...the Mendhi tattoo was a huge hit!!! all the nurses and docs have commented how totally cool it was. It is starting to fade, I am going to miss it! Here is a pic, You have to look at the pic in a mirror to read it :-)

Les,

Have you had your surgery yet? Was it scheduled for 3/07? If so, how are you doing? I had my mastectomy last June~ June 6th to be exact. I am doing great now and you'll be fine!! Do you need further treatment? If you need to talk, please write.

Love and prayers!
Colleen
