Hi Debbie!
It's so nice to hear from you again! You feeling well these days? Still going to the breast cancer conferences in San Antonio and Project Lead? I haven't been since I met you at those years ago. It was great to connect with you and some of the other ladies here back then.
My second and final mastectomy is scheduled for 9/27 then I'm plum out of breasts to lose
. I am still not doing reconstruction , perhaps it'll never happen, maybe it will I haven't decided yet. I'd love to hear from others who either waited or opted out of reconstruction. Chemo is planned about a month after surgery.
If you, or anybody else here is interested in following my journey through Cancer Land, my blog is

I like your avitar, Debbie. It looks like you, your dog, and friends are having a grand ole' time enjoying life!
