Everyday a HollyDay!

On October 18, 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sixty percent (60%) of my right breast was diseased (9 tumors) which required full removal of all breast tissue. I underwent a bi-lateral mastectomy on November 14, 2012 and have been through 2 additional surgeries since then. The saving grace was that my cancer had not yet invaded other surrounding tissue or my lymph nodes and I escaped without needing chemo or radiation. It's still no picnic. This is my journey.

Humph

Surgery #2 is just around the corner and I'm not really looking forward to it.

Yes, it will be nice to have it behind me. And yes, I am excited to get back to a normal sleep pattern - without sharp pains or pillows all around me to keep me from rolling on my side. And of course, it will be great to get rid of the rocks and replace them with what my kids call, "squishy boobies."

But surgery...again...ugh!

I've been praying and my nerves are fine. I'm just not looking forward to going through this process again. I'm hopeful for a speedy recovery and THANKFUL that the worst is behind me.
