    Phone is coming along. Operating as a phone now. But still having a heck of a time getting everything lined up on the transfer front. It is getting easier to accept though :)

    Also got an email link to biopsy results from last surgery. Seems I'm going backwards. "Margins" were worse than first time around. No clean margin in one spot - other spot less than 1mm. Doctor is either putting stuff in there rather than taking it out ?????? or this cancer stuff is growing fast. This trip started off feeling like it was going to be an easy ride. But maybe not so much. Surgery number three lurking in the wings. :# But. No binges today :)

    Oh Laurie! Any chance of consulting with another surgeon?

    That is my plan, Yooly. I'll listen to his thoughts. But at this point I don't really trust him - or his plan for my left breast :| Does he not realize that my only stress relief these days feels like food????!!!! And that that is a dangerous game????????

    If your guy is a general surgeon, you might try to find someone who specializes in breast surgery. At this point you need more expertise! ❣️❣️❣️
    Female surgeon might be helpful?

    Gah Laurie, I am so sorry to hear about those results. I agree with Yooly. You need another opinion.

    sorry, I thought I had asked Laurie (but I don't see my question above), did they perform imaging before the surgery last time? And, I would hope, you will have support from gp/even surgeon in seeking a supplementary opinion!

    This fellow is a breast surgeon with a special interest in cancer (not an oncologist but involved in much cancer research - and with an excellent reputation) - but something is not working well for him (me) this time.
    Didn't get the deeper imaging yet (MRI) - but I thought we were on top of this area. Apparently not. Anyway...nothing that a good bowl of greek yoghurt with walnuts can't fix :)

    Thank you all XOXO ( I just wanted to send you hugs, but couldn't remember which is which so you get kisses too!)

    We could use Yoda here too! For calorie counts and medical advice.

    But there are many good things in 10g of walnuts! And dietary fat must come from somewhere :)

    Nothing wrong with 10g of walnuts Laurie--that's being careful! :wink:
    500g would be a different story! :hushed:

    @Yoolypr it's not issues that have real solutions or even real advice that can be given (or taken) at this point.

    We have our medication changes without direct supervision by a specialist and the end results of that "experiment" conjoined with/exacerbated by mild cognitive impairment more or less in line with our age.

    Decision making and potential decision making and the stated reasoning for such are quite suspect. Health diagnosis are proceeding at a glacial pace. We are still waiting for an echocardiogram since February/March. That's for an 83 yo--while the dr on two occasions has poo pooed and said no to getting one done privately.

    And this is on top of work and a couple of health concerns going on over here...

    Nah, puppy outings are more useful!

    Plus I can't afford to kill my remaining brain cells--look where that's got my vanguard to

    Having a shorter term need for future brain cells, I vote for a fine silver Patron tequila in a mojito. Got no dog to walk, hubby’s long legs outpace my stubby stumps so .......

    You two are terrible. And self medicating with drumsticks from Costco (2 on the way back) doesn't really help much. Somehow I doubt that killing the remaining brain cells will help either!!! I have enough trouble functioning right now!!!!

    Have you two done the MoCA test? I mean if *I* thought (some of) the questions were tough now.... yikes in 25 years... but probably won't make it to then, right?!?!?!?!!!!!!! And I can't even go walkies as I have to deal with delayed workish stuff.

    Anyway. Mild impairment is where we're at in 2/2 shots at it and at the same score level (way closer to moderate than to not impaired). And no-one is particularly happy :hushed:

    Onward

    Yooly…. If, and when my life ever settle down, I’m bringing my fat self down for one of those tequila Mojitos. Who am I kidding? I think I’m going to have several.

    It seems I need to get my retina reattached first, but once that is done tomorrow morning, and the boob is tended to… I’m going to have some making up to do
