October 28, 2011


What a long week it has been not just for me but Tim and my family as well.  We had yet another appointment this morning with the surgeon Dr. Sowden.  I have to say my blood pressure is never raised but this morning when I entered the breast care center I was having heart palpitations and difficulty catching my breath.  When the nurse took my vital signs it was not high for a normal person but it was raised for me as she looked back on my chart.  And then the knock on the door which I knew was Dr. Sowden.  As she entered the small examining room she was upbeat but I did not want to get my hopes up.  She asked how we were I said anxious she basically said you don't need to be your right breast is fine.  I stood up and hugged her I was so happy as too was Tim. 


Dr. Sowden then proceeded to go over the details of the surgery that will take place Friday November 4 in the morning.  Her nurse came in after to go over the care of the drains I will have and we left.  I must say it was the first time I left there since this journey started that I had a smile on my face and I was walking on air.


I also had my pre-op with Dr. Rubman whom I thanked a million times again for finding this early.  He is very modest and it's just his job as far as he is concerned.  Well in my mind and families he's our HERO.......


I will breath a big sigh of relief when next Friday is over though I know I will be in the hands of two more than capable women surgeons.


Thank you all for the love and support you have surrounded me with.
