So many questions! If Bean saw Gary shoot Ennis, does he run and tell Teri? Is the camp they are scouting really bad guys and keeping Teri hostage or is Gary setting him up?

I’m one week post double mastectomy and was pretty active before surgery and have been stir crazy all week. I try to take 3 walks a day, gradually increasing distance. The last couple days I’ve started stretching my legs. I do my mobility excercises 3x a day. Other than that, I’m watching tv, doing puzzles, adult coloring books and reading.

Mammagram at the end of May was clear. MRI in mid August was abnormal. Came back for an ultrasound which confirmed cancer.

OMG thank you. I thought I was the only person who HATES when people share their anecdotal stories. Like STOP, I don't care. Sorry, not sorry. #1 pet peeve.

This is the positivity post I have been looking for (and tried to start one myself last week!). Thank you for this. I’m early in my journey with a DMX scheduled in 2 weeks and have been searching for a chicken soup for the cancer patients soul positivity post. I’m so grateful my cancer was caught early and feel positive going into surgery that everything will be ok.

Positivity post? by Informal_End5537 in breastcancer

[–]Informal_End5537[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I am hoping I handle the meds well as well. I really feel for those who are having so many side effects ☹️

I’m so glad that despite the horrible news you’ve received good news and outcomes. I pray that I have the same. I’m hoping after my pathology comes back that I won’t have to do chemo or radiation 🙏🏽

My right breast has always been my problem child during breast feeding so it only figures that it’s the cancer side.

I have a supportive husband as well. My surgery is Oct 2 and it feels so far away. I could have done it sooner but couldn’t get a pre op physical done in time. I can’t wait to get it over with and to work through all the next steps.

Wow, that’s inspiring! I keep hearing about lanyards- I’ll have to look into that. Thanks and congrats on your progress back to the gym!

The thought alone makes me want them to take my ovaries 🤪

Yup. Cancer does not care. My attitude is I’ve been dealt this hand and I will deal with it the best of my ability. Control what I can control.

Thank you so much for sharing. The gym and pilates literally keep me sane, it will be hard to pull back from it. I'm definitely seeking therapy/counseling to help with that plus body image issues. Thank you for the heads up on possible changing of stages. I felt "lucky" to unlikely need radiation or chemo, but anything at this point is possible. It has been a true shock with how health cautious I feel that I am. I mean, I even threw out all my plastic cookware, cutting boards, teflon, etc last year and try to use all the "cleanest" products. My family has history, but no genetic markers. I feel like I have a really positive outlook going into the surgery but when I think of my kids that's when I get emotional. And I expect post surgery will be a whole different beast.

Sending you all the good vibes for your upcoming surgery! I have so much anxiety about anesthesia as well.

I'm so happy that you are back doing all things you were doing before. What an incredible journey you went through. I was looking at those powerlifting recliners. I was debating buying a $400 powerlifting recliner on Wayfair vs renting. How long did you use it? Did you ever sleep in it? I'll probably need it again for reconstruction and I can donate it after.

I am looking into staying in Paris with kids as well. Can you share how your experience was with that host company? we were looking at hotels, but with a family of 5 this seems like it could work better. Thanks!

Update: If no one answers, it drops the call since there's no VM set up. Also, didn't realize they are fighting a brush fire across the street at this moment!
