    Double mastectomy

    As some of you know, my wife has been going through chemo for breast cancer. Next week is her final of 16 treatments and we needed to get a surgical plan of action today. After many months of pondering our options we've elected to go with a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction.

    The option of using her own tissue for the recon is very complex and would likely be a 12 hour surgery all together since they do both concurrently. Plus the recovery time and risk of future hernias is pretty great. We are going the implant route. Surgery is set for the second week of July. At this point there's zero evidence the cancer is still present so things are looking up.

    So, yeah the MegoMeet is sorely needed next weekend. A break from this stuff and work is overdue. Thanks to all who've sent fb messages and stayed in touch through this.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

    Sounds like you and your wife have endured some really rough times. Best wishes to you both.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  I know this is very difficult, for both of you. And, I’m very happy with the sound of the of the prognosis. It also sounds like you have a very solid, practical plan in order. You both have all of my very best.

                              Damn Axe! If there is a hard road, you not only end up in on it, you get a flat tire! But it actually does sound like she's doing good.
