I am greatly relieved that I like and trust both of those that I was assigned. If I don't, then I can't see that doctor and take his/her advice seriously.<br />Duffy and Cinderella are wonderful.

Did you ever read Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Singer series? <br /><br />It sounds like they caught your mom's cancer at a good time. Unfortunately, my mom, who feared doctors refused to go in until the lump she had was large enough for my dad to notice and make her go. By then it was in her lymph system and had taken root in her breast bone... from there it curved around to her spine and up into her brain. It was the cancer in her brain that killed her. All things considered, the Tomoxofen did an excellent job of keeping it down to a snail's pace.<br />I am greatly relieved to hear that the reconstruction went well for your mom and the doc was great! Thanks for that information.silly rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313221194740196751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192937652020425888.post-15441062148474361462012-07-24T08:37:41.461-07:002012-07-24T08:37:41.461-07:00I will take "pleasantly eccentric" as a ...I will take "pleasantly eccentric" as a mighty compliment.

Naturally that was my only visit to them. Then I was spoiled by a wonderful doctor for 23 years. Meeting new ones now is so weird.<br /><br />Breast cancer is a scary business at best. I have had those mammos where they ask me back and then am told after repeats that there is nothing there.

If someone's rude to my face, my dragon will take care of them.<br /><br />I'm so glad that you were able to leave the doctor's office feeling more positive.<br /><br />My mom developed breast cancer...jeez, must've been 10 years ago. Hers didn't reach the lymph nodes, so she didn't need chemo or anything, but they did remove that breast.

I asked my mother if she'd be willing to have the test for the genetic markers and she refused. She doesn't want to feel responsible if one of her daughters develops the disease. (I won't even go into my anger over the selfishness of this.) But I also know about the body fat link and that is one of the driving forces behind my interest in healthy food and exercise. And I take some comfort in knowing my body type is from my father's side and not my mother's (where the breast cancer/ovarian cancer history is). Still, I get my mammograms every year and most years am told to come back in six months because they aren't happy with the results. So far, in my two decades of mammography, nothing that has lead to the need for a biopsy. I am like you, though, and envy women with no family history of it.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.com
