My doc feels that by doing the surgery I could be risking getting the infection again. The results could turn out bad. I really was looking forward to seeing myself somewhat "whole" after all these years. I will take my doctors advice and not continue. He advised me that if I did get an infection in the reconstructed nipples it could be very painful and difficult to clear it up. I am looking pretty good for being reconstructed and It could damage the results further... I do not want that. My birthday is tomorrow and I thank God I am alive 4 1/2 years later:) It has been a long haul but I did it. I am gonna get fake tattoos and have keith apply them for me. just so I have some nipples. idkStephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14248988286209373266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576935520387428799.post-39022764068024359432012-09-02T20:14:00.001-07:002012-11-26T09:02:32.840-08:00my beautiful joy RIPWell 2012 has been going well for me untill August, 21 2012. My best friend of 23 years was riding her bike on her dirt road and was hit by a car and died:( I am heartbroken. I am trying to just go day to day. I had lots of posts of my friend Joy and how much she has helped me during my cancer journey. I am still in dis belief that this has happened. Just not fair. I will be ready to finish my reconstruction soon and she was gonna be the first to see the end results. I need God's strength more than ever now....

Lots has happening these last few months. the expander went in with no problems. On Nov 29 2011 I finally had my implant put in. After all them months with no <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">reassurance</span> of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">cellulitsis</span>, I get it again! The doc admits me right away. I spent a whole week up on the 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> floor. I went in on the 19<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> of Dec and did not get out until the day before Christmas, the 24<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>. Keith had to do all the Christmas shopping for the boys and he had to grocery shop for Christmas dinner and he did all the cooking. I love that guy:) He took such good care of the house and the boys the week I was gone:) I am not sure about the doctors. One says possibly <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">lymphedema</span> and one says <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">cellulitsis</span>. I am confused. I do know that I can not afford to be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">hospitalized</span> twice a year for this issue. I was so ready to move on with my reconstruction and finally end this chapter of my life. Not gonna happen, just yet. As of today, the infection is gone. I see my reconstruction doc on Monday. I am curious as to what he says. I have not seen him since being hospitalized.I hope 2012 brings me happiness:)Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14248988286209373266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576935520387428799.post-54130664033595356562011-08-10T11:50:00.000-07:002012-01-05T19:57:51.551-08:00surgery #8 DONE:) expander put in<div><div>After a long nine months I finally went in for surgery yesterday (Aug, 9 2011) I got the tissue expander placed in on my left side. Doc Gavagahan was able to even pump me up a bit. Feels good to have some breast:) I have the wrap on so I cannot see to much, but I trust my Doc. I do see cleavage and just knowing that I am finally on my way to being done with reconstruction makes me happy. I have seen Liane and Sue's end results for their breast cancer and I have decided I will get the tattooing and nipple done at the doctors office. Liane has beautiful fairies tattooed on her breasts, that she had done at a tattoo shop and Sue has the normal nipple and tattooing from the Doc. I feel that with all the problems I have had, getting some cool tattoo may not be my best choice. These past three years have been rough but I made it so far:)</div><div> </div><div> I did find out last week that I now have three budging discs in my neck. I only had one last year. I am having some strange back pain and did get an ex ray. Waiting on the results from that. My medical doc feels I need physical therapy for my neck and back. I am still always in pain but I just live with it as best I can. I stretch and take my meds when needed. I hate getting old!</div></div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14248988286209373266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576935520387428799.post-39627824974664799052011-05-24T06:57:00.001-07:002011-05-24T07:04:04.056-07:00Mickey called <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">yesterday</span>.

I seem to restless waiting. I am so tired of this all. I cannot wait for it to be finished! I think I may be hitting the premenapause stage in my life. I hate myself at times. I need to find a hobby.

I go to see my reconstruction Doc next month but I will not be able to get into surgery ( to get my expander put in) for a least two months after that. I have waited patiently for the six months to pass. I am ready. I am finding that trying on summer clothes is depressing. Nothing looks good. Having one implant and the other side is sunken in and flat, sucks. I have <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">decided</span> to use my blog to express my emotions that are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">going</span> crazy. I have been through way to much. I also am still dealing with the pain 80% of the time... Degenerative disc disease, I am not told. In my neck....

I did start the epidural <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">steroid</span> shots. I just had my second one. I have to say... I do not have as much pain so I think it is working.I get one more in a month.

I have a pinched nerve (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">discbuldging</span> with pinching of the nerve at C5-6, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">herinanted</span> disc) I was told by the orthopedic surgeon (Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Pasia</span> ) that these shots may help. The name...... cervical <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">steroid</span> epidural injections. Sounds kinda <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">scarry</span> but better than surgery. That may be my next option. I cannot live with the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">constent</span> pain I have daily. The doc. said I would be a good candidate for the surgery. The name...... Anterior cervical <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">discectomy</span> and fusion c 5-6 .

Has now turned into, all my ailments.<br />Went to my OBGYN (Dr. Hamblin) for a bladder infection, first thing this morning. If it is not one thing with me it is another!! I noticed also that my celulitsis has returned. Same breast, same spot. Dr. Hamlin prescribed Leviquin again for me and told me to follow up with Dr. Brooks. I did see Dr. Brooks this afternoon. Another 30.00 co pay.... I learned nothing new bout the infection. He will get a culture (which will take a few days) and hopefully the Leviquin will take the infection away once and for all. I will take it for six weeks.<u> The doctors thoughts are that by taking the script for a longer amount of time, it will get rid of it. My breast is pretty red now, and this bladder infection is very very painful, and the heranated disc in my neck is still making my life very uncomfortable. I often wonder if my life will ever be painfree, like before. </u>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14248988286209373266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576935520387428799.post-25595930379505854342010-07-14T18:53:00.000-07:002010-07-14T19:05:50.861-07:00I finally went to see the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">orthopedic</span> doctor (Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Makim</span>) today.

I was hoping I could go to a neurologist. I have been doing my own research about this cervical <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">spondylosis</span> I have. From what I have read, surgery is the last resort. I called my oncologist and asked about it. The nurse said he feels I need to see the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">surgeon</span>. I may need surgery???? I am going in to see him today. I need to know what is up. The kind breast cancer I had normally starts in the neck and glands. They are telling me I have a form of neck <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">arthritis</span>. Do I have neck cancer now??? Then, to make matters worse. I have noticed that my left breast is getting red again. It comes and goes just like before I was hospitalized for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">celulitisis</span>. It is sore too.

Dr <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gavagahan</span> will see me in August to move on to the nippling and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">tattooing</span>.He wants to put me on antibiotics a week before we do the surgery. Just to be safe. My right breast is dropping too. I do not expect my breasts to be perfect but It is really looking lower than the left side. I worry about it getting worse. Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gavagahan</span> will take a look at them in August and I may need a lift. We will see.Molly has gotten some unsettling news recently. A dense area on her chest. They will check it again in 6 weeks. Prayers to her!!!Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14248988286209373266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576935520387428799.post-53159431220724247352010-04-21T20:59:00.000-07:002010-04-21T21:01:15.163-07:00I am still leaking from my incision.

My <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">meds</span> (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">reflex</span>) gives me yeast infection, always does. sucks. I woke up this morning and I am leaking now from the incision. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Getting</span> very confused. My last surgery was 10 months ago. I would think that the areas are all healed. The doctors came to the conclusion while I was hospitalized that when Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gavagahan</span> pinched that area, he may have just released the infection. It could have been there for awhile.Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Alsawa</span> says leaking is normal and just watch for the signs of infection. I see Dr G on Monday. And getting an MRI on Wed. for this pain I am still having in my neck, shoulder and arm.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14248988286209373266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576935520387428799.post-19298535766071398952010-04-08T19:45:00.000-07:002010-04-08T19:46:10.548-07:00off work and recoveringStephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14248988286209373266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576935520387428799.post-76157266981731713382010-04-08T19:17:00.000-07:002010-11-28T17:24:31.583-08:00feeling good. Well I thought.. hospitalized 3/30/10-04/04/10I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">finally</span> had decided to go for my consultation with Dr <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gavaghan</span> for my final <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">surgery</span>. Getting my nipples. 3.30-10. I had noticed a small red area on my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">incision</span> on my left breast. I had noticed it many times earlier but it seemed to come and go so...I though nothing of it. While Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gavagahan</span> was checking my skin <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">playability</span> he pinched that area and it hurt. My right side felt fine when he pinched it. I went home and went about my day. decided to wait till after summer for the surgery. I noticed while getting ready for bed the area was quite red. Maybe the size of a half dollar. The next morning it was swollen and more red. I was unable to get <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">ahold</span> of Dr <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gavagahan</span> ( besides he was 45 min away). I call Dr <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Alsawa</span> and went in to see him. He gave me some <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">meds</span> and wanted me to keep a good eye on it. Report back in the morning. I get my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">meds</span> and go home to take nap. I woke up about three hours later. I had the chills, bad stomach pains, and felt like I was gonna throw up. I did that. I just wanted to take a bath and warm up. My son David had to help me out of the tub and rush me to the E. R. I was admitted with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Celulitis</span>. a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">bacterial</span> infection on my breast. I was hooked up to I.V's and in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of pain. I spent 5 nights in the hospital. It was very <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">scary</span>. I came home on Easter. Slowly I am getting back to normal. Looks like the infection is finally gone. Spent <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of time with Jesus in the hospital. They had the Church Channel. When I was feeling better ( it took 4 days) I watched some great shows.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14248988286209373266noreply@blogger.com0
