Praying that you get better soon and that you feel well enough to take care of all your fur babes. Hope you get good news soon and that the depression lifts.
Hang in there, we are all thinking of you and praying hard.

Thank you...I am a bit better today. I had a terrible time with the surgeon yesterday...they all discussed me today in their conference...probably called me the biggest PIA in the world. I kind of went off on him yesterday. My oncologist called this afternoon and was so helpful in answering all of my questions.

You know yorkie kisses are a great treatment for depression, I know I needed them from Cookie last year when I was fearing it was Stage 4 with my mom after googling too many articles.

I am SO happy that your mom is doing well. Thank you for your prayers...so appreciated. Yes, the pups do make us feel better.

Sending love and hugs. Please keep us updated. I want to see you ringing that bell soon. Then you can say to the bell, "We've got to stop meeting like this."

Not sure I want to ring that darned bell again....I think it is all never ending.

Thank you so much Kristin for your kind words. And for your prayers... that is the one thing that is bugging me...it is getting close to dog show time and I hate anything that gets in the way of what I need to do. It is kind of a good thing because it pushes me to get better faster.

Well , this is not a recurrence, which is good and bad I guess. It is another primary in the other breast. As you know...this is a rare thing so now they are suspecting possible gene issue although I am older for some of them. They did do genetic testing, so I should have an answer in a couple of weeks I hope.

The hardest thing for me is all of the choices....weighing everything. The first time around was an easy choice...this time not so much. I cannot believe this and the thought of going through it again in the future makes me nauseous.

I had a very bad day yesterday...today my oncologist called and went over everything with me so I feel a bit better....but still pretty overwhelmed.

I will be seeing a plastic surgeon this coming week to look at options. My mind is spinning from all of the choices. None are appetizing as you know. I keep having to remind myself that there are worse things in the world that people are dealing with. Sometimes that helps...other times I just feel awful and I suppose I need to do that.

I was scared you were going to report it was a recurrence. It's rare to have an independent tumor show up in the other breast? It's what happened with my mom. She had a tumor removed and did radiation in 2011 and then another surgery + radiation combo last year in the other breast. Now I'm wondering why her oncologist never recommended genetic testing. When you talk about probably being to old for it toy be genetic, do you mean people with a genetic predisposition often get it really young? My mom is about to turn 64. I apologize if you don't want to talk too much about this. My mom had a rule last year that I could talk to her about the C-word for 5 minutes and then no more bringing it up for a day so that she wouldn't get overwhelmed mentally by the battle (except of course when we were looking for doctors, surgeons, etc).

Thank you for your prayers. Yes, I do feel good reading through these posts.... It has been a difficult month with all of this.

Oh you can ask away...if I ever have a problem with it, I can message you; but really no reason to hide it. These things can sometimes help other people.

They told me they don't usually do the BRCA testing in older women but offered it to me now since I had another primary. She said that while it may not be that, it is obvious that I have some predisposition to develop breast cancer. They don't just do BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 now...they do a whole genetic profile. To answer your question, it is not a common occurrence to develop another primary cancer, but it does happen.

I totally get your mom....I had to stop my son today. I realize he is upset, but the constant thinking and talking can really be overwhelming. There is just way too much to deal with. Sometimes you just need to think about other things. It is bad enough that I have been given a bunch of options and have no idea which way to go....so many what its.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers Linda, and hope things don't get too overwhelming. My mom had to stop me a few times too but eventually I caught on.
