Being me in the world
The verdict is in…
(I have finished reading the Erma Bombeck and am now reading a John Grisham)
The lymph node biopsy shows that there is a trace of the cancer in my lymph – which means that a whole whack of other lymph nodes will have to be removed. And I will have a mastectomy.
There, that’s it. The decision has been made.
Next step is to see the plastic surgeon to talk about the options for reconstruction etc.
It feels as though this is what it was always going to be. Three weeks ago I learned that I have a growth in my breast. Three weeks ago, I made the Freudian slip a few times, saying, “I’m having a mastec- mammogram on Monday.”
And so it it come full circle, so it seems. I will truly have a mastectomy within the next week. It is even more surreal now that it is actually really going to happen. To make that statement – about myself – seems to have no place in this world.
And, yet, this is how it is.
And that is what I will deal with next: the next step up the mountain.
I’m impressed, I ought to say. Genuinely rarely can i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you can have hit the nail for the head. Your notion is outstanding; the dilemma is something that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy i stumbled across this during my seek out some thing with this.
