We had a nice warm day today but thunderstorms tonight, so more weeds and bugs, for sure!!! I will say that my flowers are looking really good though. The only thing is we can't plant impatients which I love this year because of a fungus they have. Kind of creepy, really. I have beautiful geraniums, begonias, and tons of stuff I don't even know the names of!!!! The goal was color all summer long!
So glad you had a nice relaxing trip

I love Woodstock, especially in the fall. Nothing like a hearty Vermont breakfast - super yum!
Have a great week - everything is so colorful and gorgeous out, but lots of rain here this week. The weeds will bloom the best, I am sure!

I found my own lump, thankfully, 3 months after a mammogram which showed normal, see you in a year. Thank God I reacted when I found it as it was stage II IDC.
It is always a good idea to check things out when we are not sure. Unfortunately as so many of us here know, mammograms are not always accurate, particularly in women with dense breasts.
I will be wishing you well and hoping for negative results. You did NOTHING wrong. Unfortunately, this disease can be the luck of the draw.
Hoping you get back to us soon - we are always here for you.
best,

The decision to have a lumpectomy or mastectomy, if you have a choice, is a really personal one. I was fortunate that the chemo shrunk the tumor enough to have a lumpectomy, but had it been less successful or in a different area, I may not have had a choice.
There was a wonderful councilor at the hospital I go to, and my doctors were easy to talk to, especially the oncologist and surgery who performed the lumpectomy. I would ask lots of questions, take notes, and if someone could go with you that would help. It is a lot to absorb, for sure.
Wish you the best in your decisions, and hope you come back with an update.

Usually my kids make up a gorgeous bouquet for me and I am so hoping they do it this year for mom's day too!!!! It is my favorite gift to give and receive flowers!!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. We have had some rain today but now it is clearing and nice out. Time for a little walk for me.
Having my family over tomorrow for Chinese food to celebrate mothers day. My mom will be 84 this year and has had her own health struggles, so each year the days become more special and precious.

Good luck with the radiation prep. Make sure she stays hydrated and eats plenty of protein. I found I got a bit tired in the middle of it all (36 weeks of radiation) but that was partly because I was back to work and going every afternoon at 4pm.
Thanks for the update and Happy Mothers Day to your mom!!!!

You are a wonderful and caring person for coming here with your questions. I found sports bras most comfortable while healing, the larger the better as there will be a lot of swelling.
It is always wise to eat nutritious meals to the best of your ability. My docs used to tell me to eat whatever I could tolerate, and be sure to drink as much as possible - fruit juice, herbal teas, water.
The procedure should be done by a surgeon who is a breast specialist. This person, and the primary care doctor, should be able to help with a lot of your questions.
best of luck and keep us in the loop ~
