Re: Brain Mets - new or old?
Hey Denise! Praying for you daily. I'm still working on the belly boob. Lol. Got it in July 15 hr surgery. Radiation damaged veins in chest he had to pull vein from my left arm....my lymphadema is really bad now...but stil can use my arm thank god! I went back in November for uplift and implant in my own boob. Just got out of hospital this week from lipo suction. 5 ounces of pure fat pulled from my love handles. And inserted into belly boob, and he stretched my stomach a little tighter to blend my flat parts with my not so flat parts. Supposed to be out patient I had to spend night. Hope this is my first and last lipo adjustment.....pushing 60 yrs old and over 200 pounds. This old girl wants to save energy for the big fight should I need to fight the dang cancer agin. Doc says fte this pet scan we will move from every 6 months to 12 months..scary for me. I do hope you feel enter my friend and I pray herceptin kicks in and does the job.
