Re-excision Surgery, Lumpectomy


yes


I found a lump in my left breast while putting on my bra that snaps in the front. I don’t think I would of found this if it wasn’t for the placement of it being so close to the edge of my breast and close to the snap. I also would feel a tingling sensation in the area every now and then, sometimes it would itch a little.

My first surgery was on September 22, 2005 where I had a lump in my breast removed. I got the call on September 26th that is was cancerous. My second re-excision surgery was on October 5th. The cancer reoccurred and was found on May 29, 2009. I am scheduled to have a mastectomy on Thursday June 11, 2009.

I did six weeks of radiation starting on October 26, 2005. What a whirlwind those months were!

I want a poster too! Can you see if that’s possible Jill? I just set that as my background for Twitter. How is Twitter doing on Blog for A Cure? Do we have a link to it?
We had 500 signatures in May. Not bad for a small outfit huh. lol

Hug Button & New Pages
Views: 1155

Happy Monday Everyone!

A few upgrades. One of our lovely bloggers requested a hug button and it is now in place. Give it a try.

And I have two new pages up. You can find these under the “info” tab in the top nav. I have been collecting this information from you all from your profile questions and now you can see it in one place.

Tips on how to deal with the physical and mental side effects of chemo/cancer.

Tips to deal with the physical side effect of chemo.

Tips to deal with the mental side effect of chemo.

If you have any other ways to improve this community let me know. It may take awhile to get them up and running but slowly and surely we keep making improvements. Thanks to our programmer Kevin too!

Great Additions to the Website Jill! I am so impressed that you are able to do this kind of stuff:) My mom took a web design class at the age of 64 and she really thought it was neat, I was amazed at what she learned…so not my field of expertise:) I am so thankful God bless us all with different gifts!
Bless you,
Melinda
