Is anybody out there...?

I think I show my age when I reference songs from my past..... I am not sure if anyone still reads this but I will continue to post anyway. I have gone through 2 infections on my left breast since my silicone implants were put in on May 3rd. I have been on antibiotics since June 10th. My Dr. wanted me to go in and have the implant taken out right away but I had two vacations planned and after discussing it with my Dr. we decided that as long as I continue to monitor the infection while on antibiotics it would be ok. If the infection was getting worse I would need to go in right away whether I was in Northern MN or in Washington DC. After noticing the second infection the day I arrived in Washington DC I thought for sure I was going to need to go into the hospital but the new antibiotics she prescribed (CVS was only 2 block from the hotel) did the trick. So far I am doing fine and anxiously awaiting surgery on Friday July 27th. Exactly one year from my double mastectomy. On Friday July 27th I will be having a Latissimus Flap done. This is when they take skin and tissue from my back and bring it around to my front while still attached, to cover the area that is not healing. The skin and tissue on my left breast that has been radiated will no longer stretch so I have a hole the size of a pencil eraser within the incision, that will not heal. My Dr. will do this along with putting in a tissue expander so I will have one breast until she can start filling the expander. Later on I will need to have surgery to replace the tissue expander with another implant. I have my last Herceptin (Chemo) infusion on Wednesday July 25th. That is exciting! I will have another part of treatment behind me! I will then need to go in every three months for a blood test to look for cancer markers. As of July 12th I am now a one year survivor of breast cancer. Thank you to all of you who have supported and prayed for me and my family through our journey. Words cannot express the gratitude we have for your generosity.
