Thanks for everyone who came by this weekend to model... sorry it must have been while I was picking Duncan up from Midge's house and I missed you. ;)
The appointment went well. The doctor explained all the options and now BL's head is spinning digesting the information while deciding on which direction to go. One of the first decisions is whether or not to have a bilateral mastectomy. The original MRI indicated some non-specific areas that would require monitoring every 6 months and she just may want to do the Christina Applegate thing and move on with life with less worry. Either way the doctor said she would be able to have a beautiful new body afterwards and was very optimistic about reconstruction. Implants will require the use of tissue expanders which they will put in during the mastectomy and gradually increase each week until she reaches her desired size so it isn't going to be a dramatic change right off. Dates for surgery are still up in the air but it will be after Thanksgiving and before Christmas.
You all keep up the excellent posts- it is working!!!
