Hi all
I usually lurk but have posted a few times recently about my upcoming
reconstruction. I was dxd a year ago with stage 2, 3 cms, N0, ER neg,
Her neg, had a bilateral mastectomy on Oct 3rd, did 3 FEC, 3 Taxotere.
No radiation. I just turned 38 on Oct 8th so while last year's birthday
sucked :-) this years was a bit better. I live in Toronto, Canada.

I'm having my reconstruction on Friday and I'm so excited. I'm doing a
free DIEP so I get a tummy tuck also. Helpful after the 2 kids!

Best wishes to you, Moz. I've always been glad I did my reconstruction.
While I was uncomfortable for a while following, I didn't mind. Really
wanted the reconstruction! Hope all goes well for you.

6 rounds of FEC chemo finishing in June '05 , then 20 daily rads (Mon -
Fri) all thru August '05...back to work mid September....not an hour off
sick since (touch- wood).... lots of scares...aches and pains...is it or
isn't it??? ultra sounds, chest z-ray and endoscopy...but NED
yet....Just living each day as it comes....Have cried and laughed with the
group..... can empathise with you all, have lost dear friends this year...
funny how, before me being dx'ed I only knew one person with cancer, then
all of a sudden, I know 4 or 5..... dangerous age 50 ish ...... Have
wonderful doctor and supportive family and friends...(use the 'chemo-brain '
thing all the time) not many perks to this road........good luck to
all...will keep lurking....unless I have anything relevant to say, but am
sending good vibes to all, thnx to all who have answered my queries,
(how-ever daft they may have been) Most done with understanding and
kindness,
God- bless.............Pam
