Re: I Have Shrinkage!!!!
I was glad to read of your progress and I'm hoping that things continue to go well....it helps to inspire me too. I am quite depressed and worried and your good news offers inspiration to me.

May things continue to get better for you!

Re: I Have Shrinkage!!!!
With the good news comes some I didnt want to hear...my implant from reconstruction is LEAKING!!!! Yep, silicone is oozing out into a capsulated area....and I was told i am not a candidate for any chest surgery right now due to all the nodes. So I guess I walk around with a flat tire so to speak. As if that wasnt enough, my Oncologist for the past 7 1/2 years told me Tuesday that she is retiring.....I feel like I am losing the major part of my team....I will be transferred to another very good oncologist at Rush, but it is sad nonetheless. I feel like she is a close friend, she treated my Mom, and me....it will be different!
