I am feeling much better - I just had almost 12 ounces of fluid drained from around my tissue expander in my right breast. My breast is now 1/2 the size that it was. It is amazing how painful that can be. Thank you, Dr Livingston for relieving my pain! He is not sure why I developed the fluid, but it does not appear to be from an infection. I am just glad that it is gone!! My appointment was supposed to be a pre-surgery consult. Obviously, that didn't happen - I rescheduled that for next week.
My dad is in the hospital with two blood clots in his lungs and congestive heart failure. He had surgery on his shoulder last week. He has been retaining fluid in his legs for some time and is also diabetic. He has been put on a strict diet as well as on coumadin for the blood clot and a diuretic for the fluid retention. He seems to be doing well, according to my mom. Please pray that this continues and that the medical team can determine where the blood clots are coming from (legs or shoulder).

My last chemo is Monday. I am so happy to be almost done with this portion of my treatment. I hope to be feeling so much better in a few weeks and am really looking forward to seeing some hair growth soon. From what I have heard, I should have some growth about a month after the end of chemo. I am really curious to see how what it will look like - probably curly and gray. I don't care, I will just be happy to have hair again!
