So M-Day is scheduled for Monday February 11th. I’ll definitely be there overnight but don’t know much beyond that. I’ll know more when I have my preop appointment this Monday. Now if I can just try not to catch whatever death-flu my kids have… (Don’t worry Mom, I’m going to my PCP today to see what we can do about that since I’m already showing symptoms.) So you’d think I’d be really emotional learning that I had multi focal cancer, but instead this is the first morning that I’ve gotten up without breaking down. I think I knew in my gut that they would be. So I was pretty much already prepared for the mastectomy. Weird huh.

You amaze me with your good nature, humor and strength.

I am so glad you already had your kids so you don’t have to worry about how this will affect nursing them, etc. You are a rock my friend! I am having a little surgery to remove some fibroid tumors on the same day (in Parker). I wish yours was as simple as mine. Thank goodness you will still be able to function and get around to raise those cute kiddos! 🙂

I hope your kids feel better soon, and hopefully you won’t catch what they have!
Your strength is amazing, Nicole! 🙂

Nicole – talked to someone last night who’s sister just went through this – they did her recontruction by taking tissue from her stomach, so now she’s got a flatter stomach – an unexpected bonus! – every cloud has a silver lining, no? See you soon – extra hugs!
