Lumpectomy Procedure
******I have been home now since 10:30 yesterday morning. I am feeling VERY sore, but I have a lot of pain medication. I have a nice 'nest' set up with my cozy p.j.'s, lots of blankets and my laptop and my dressing changing materials. So, I am not sure if it is the pain medicine making me so emotional or just the whole ordeal and that it is finally over. In any case, I wanted to share some of this important information with all of you. I may not be on very much today - very sleepy. But, with the pain meds, I may be up to it. It helps to keep my mind busy. I wanted to share this information as I never thought "It could happen to me" and I believe most women think that way, and I want to show that with a positive mind and emotional support and INFORMATION you CAN get through this.
Learn what to expect during a lumpectomy, and how to care for yourself during recovery. Be prepared to deal with health insurance, anesthesia, surgical dressings and drains. Learn some tips for self-care during recovery from your lumpectomy.

Breast Cancer Awareness eye look
Hi everyone,
It's still Breast Cancer Awareness month and I wanted to do a look for this. We have a friend of the family who had breast cancer 15 years ago and she's thankfully still alive. I believe all the women supporting friends and/or fighting (breast)cancer should get all the support in the world.
