Tomorrow it will be one year exactly since they told me they thought I had breast cancer and did five biopsies. So much has happened since then. In some ways I can't believe it has already been a year, but in other ways I feel like it was a long year. Either way, I am still dealing with the major changes in my life since that dreaded day.
In two days I will have what should be my final reconstruction surgery. I remember after I found out I had breast cancer and met with doctors I told myself "this crap is going to take one year" to get through. On my surgery day, it will be exactly 366 days. Crazy.
At this point I am so sick of surgeries, doctors and even needles! I am not as nervous as I was for prior surgeries but I guess that is because by now I am a "pro" at this crap. I can also see how some women get to this point and they just say "screw it" and don't do further reconstruction. I could easily do that at this point, but I told myself it would be one year so I am just going to do it. I am not looking forward to it at all....I just want it over with!
So last year for Christmas I got breast cancer, This year I am getting nipples and areolas. That is something I never thought I would get for Christmas! I sure hope they are pretty! LOL!
