Chelee - still out there?
 

Anyone headrd from Chelee lately. Last I knew she was "battling" her HMO but I have not heard anything recently. Any news would be appreciated...

Hi Mel, I am still hanging in there. Seems I live on the phone lately thanks to the way my HMO and medical group has done me. They can't totally abandon me I found out until I am set-up some where else which I am looking forward too. But there is much to be worked out still. I am mentally and physical exhausted.

But for now...they finally ok'd my surgery for a simple mastectomy for this Thursday. I've been having alot of pain in my remaining breast for 6 months now which they have ignored. I've had to force them to do a mammo, ultrasound and then Mri. They found 4 masses consistent with lymph nodes and they don't seem concerned. (Which I would be happy about if not for the constant pain I have in that breast & axilla.) So I will have this mastectomy Thrusday morning and they will take a look then to see whats going on? Then I have to wait for the results from the path Dept. Should they find something I will go back into surgery again a week later. I pray all this pain is caused from something benign.

Thanks for thinking of me Mel. I've just been a bit down lately...but things will get better. The fighting with the HMO and group is just a bit much. Heck, even the case manager called here the other day to GRILL me before I could have my surgery. (Its a long story, but no one should be treated like this.) Thanks again Mel...your one in a million. You have had your plate full and been so busy with such a BIG accomplishment, one you should be so very proud of…and yet you are kind enough to think of me. What a lucky women Lisa was. I bet she can’t wipe that smile off her face. God bless you.

Hope your surgery went well and you have an easy recovery. Best of luck with everything. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Margerie, I had to laugh at your post. (My painful whatevers.) Ha! At this point...thats exactly what they are. I sure hope this gets to the bottom of those *painful whatevers*. Its been a painful 6 months and I want it to come to a end. If this is what it takes...so be it.

I am more nervous now that its "D-Day". It sounded so easy until today and the reality kicked in. I am truly over whelmed by all the warm wishes and support from all of you. It brought good tears to my eyes tonight. Helps me not feel so alone. Thanks so much for all the prayers...I sure need them.

Thanks to each and everyone of you.

Dearest Chelee, I am thinking of you today as always. I went skiing for a few days last week and got you email. I am praying for you and sending you my love. You are an inspiration to me (you don't ever give up!) Much love and Hugs Vickie

I managed to get through my surgery. I'm a bit un-comfortable at the moment...but thats to be expected. I had a hard time making a decision to stay at the hospital one night or come home. But I eventally decided to come home to my own bed which was the right choice. If nothing else, you get more sleep at home

I am glad to have this behind me. My chest seems more bruised and discolored this time verses last year with my MRM? Maybe I just can't remember? This was a simple mastectomy and it looks worse? Swollen and black and blue all over...and very sore. Couldn't get my surgeons office today so I will assume its ok? Thanks to everyone for your thoughts, well wishes and prayers...its no doubt what got me through all this. :)

Chelee

So happy to hear that is behind you now. Hope you heal up fast and are back on you feet and having fun soon!
