Well...tomorrow is the big day. For those of you who do not know, I had a small breast cancer in 1993. For the past 16 years I have been with the High Risk Breast Cancer Center at KU Med under the care of Dr. Carol Fabian. During those years I have been on clinical trials; had so many aspirations (cell extractions) that I have lost count; and had 5 surgical biopsies. I have been tested for the BRACA gene mutation and you guessed it....I have that also. So after my last tests, Dr. Fabian and I discussed it and I felt that now is the right time to move forward and have double propholactic mastectomies with immediate reconstruction. Dr. Carol Connor is my surgeon and she has done all but one of my surgical biopsies. These ladies are amazing. I am doing this to be proactive...because I want to see all of my Grandkids go to college and get married. Right now I have 1 down and 4 to go....haha. So tomorrow say a prayer for me if you will that I have a good surgery with no "surprises" and a speedy recovery. I know the Lord is with me and will see me through. Love to you all!
Please remember Mom tomorrow!
