We met with the Breast Surgeon today. First, Jill had her staples removed and her incision looks great. Well, to be clear it looks great to the doc and medical staff. To Jill and I, well, it kind of looks like a big gnarly scar where a bo0b used to be.
Dr. Schmidt answered any questions we might had and said Jill will be ready for radiation on time (in 2 weeks). We are now going to meet with the plastic surgeon in the coming week or two. They will take a look at Jill and start to devise a plan. So, after getting a timeline from the Radiation Oncologist and then an assessment from the plastics doc, we should have a TENTATIVE plan moving forward, post radiation. As in the various surgeries (left removal, right reconstruction, left reconstruction, and removal of ovaries. This will probably be 2-4 surgeries.
I got some good news at the doc – from a selfish standpoint. Jill has been instructed to lose ~30 pounds before these surgeries. Why is that good for me? I have put on about 20lbs since she got diagnosed and try as I might, without getting the junk out of our house and Jill on board (to stop me from making bad choices) I have little chance of succeeding.
So starting soon (Monday I say, I am am chief blogging officer) we will work together to loose weight. Now – who wants the crap in our house? Free to anyone.
Next update will probably be after we meet with Radiation Oncologist next week.
Oh yeah, and Jill gets her port out on Monday.
You can probably flush the crap, but we'll take your junk food. I don't look good all skinny like I am right now.
