Now, I must say that I am super relieved (read: was holding my breath so glad you included this fact) that your doctor says it's curable. I have two relatives and multiple friends who have been through this. Most did the whole chop off thing and then reconstructive. I must say...I now have boob envy of them.<BR/><BR/>Doctors are doom and gloom, so if he says you can beat this sister, you can. And you can have a frigging fan club from around the world. Though I am moving back to Texas so the ONE cool thing about me is going to disappear. You go sister. You tackle this head on. If you decide to have a mastectomy have a "Goodbye Boobie Party" and let me know when it is so I can drink with you. You are a special person and I for one can feel in my uvula that you are going to make it through this. Plus it's such good fodder to tell Si to shut up about the knee thing. That would be sarcasm. (I have to say this because apparently here in France they don't import it.)<BR/><BR/>Chin up girl. May your glass be half full.

And here I am cursing and ruining your chances of reading your blog at school. Well.....you can delete my comment after reading it if you must, but I'm not taking them out. <BR/><BR/>Be thankful you have kids right now... they truly are the only things that will keep you focused on what needs to be done, like the grocery shopping and the laundry and the toothbrushing. <BR/><BR/>And I want to kill that doctor for telling you OVER THE PHONE! WTF?!<BR/><BR/>Lots of love. I just don't know what else to say, except that part about the sexy.... I understand. <BR/><BR/>Here's my email if you want it: suesun40@gmail.com<BR/><BR/>And I'm sorry for not commenting sooner... I've been distracted by Facebook for the past week, and haven't been reading blogs. I love your blog, and mine, far more than I do facebook.suesunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073289624400975047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367488849519657930.post-22709704388879505642009-03-03T05:23:00.000-08:002009-03-03T05:23:00.000-08:00Believe me, I understand. And it does get better, ...Believe me, I understand. And it does get better, truly. You can say the word out loud and not feel like someone just punched you in the stomach after a while. <BR/><BR/>I used gallows humor a lot with my family and friends, including one funny dinner with my sister when she reached across the table, took my hand and said, "How can I help?"<BR/><BR/>And I said, "Well, first you have to promise to do it."<BR/><BR/>She said, "ANYTHING."<BR/><BR/>I said, "I want you to sleep with Bing because I am just too worn out lately...."<BR/><BR/>The look of terror on her face was priceless and once she realized that I was joking, we laughed and laughed. <BR/><BR/>I also got my own popcorn at the movie instead of having to share with my popcorn hogging wife because I had cancer. <BR/><BR/>No. Not had. Have. <BR/><BR/>It gets better.

Your sense of humour is contagious and refreshing. Even in these times. <BR/><BR/>It sounds like you have a great support network, which you may need to lean on now. <BR/><BR/>As Alice commented, your questions and thoughts are perfectly human and understandable.<BR/><BR/>Look after yourself, lean on people if you have to, and I hope you never loose your sense of humour. I'm sure it's being tested right now! <BR/><BR/>Please let us know how you're doing and how you're feeling. It's good to talk.The World According To Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877147634501360129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367488849519657930.post-1216691706075844792009-02-27T22:51:00.000-08:002009-02-27T22:51:00.000-08:00Best wishes from a lurker.

I was all about the "will it hurt" question though, on top of all those "are we talking horrible disfigurement here," "will it kill my sex life," "will my husband be disgusted," "will I be disgusted" kinds of questions. Then I got mad, because mad beat being scared. <BR/><BR/>Much love to you, Kate, you're not alone.Alice Kildairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17885932846675266706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367488849519657930.post-48516631485389648102009-02-26T12:23:00.000-08:002009-02-26T12:23:00.000-08:00Kate....when it rains....Once again, we are here f...Kate....when it rains....Once again, we are here for you.
