“One thing I want you all to know. I HATE PINK. “
“In a heartbeat our life as we knew it has changed.”
Family and Friends;
HAVE YOU TAKEN YOUR D? You also HAVE to have your levels checked to make sure you are getting enough which depends on how depleted you were/are. As my dad used to say, not all vitamins are created equally.
I have completed all the tests they have asked for and have scheduled surgery for Jan 28th. I will be in the hospital overnight. The surgery will take place at Evergreen Hosp. Which reminds me, many of you know me by Blackburn and I go by Ibach at home. The hosp. has my married name so if you are looking for me its Ibach.
Many of you have asked how they found the tumors. Annual routine screening. The name of the cancer is infiltrating ductile carcinoma and the stage of the cancer won't be determined until after the surgery.
One thing I want you all to know. I HATE PINK. I am a red head. I don't look good in pink, around or near pink. It is fine with me if you love pink. You probably look good in it. I DON'T. So NO PINK. ANYTHING. PLEASE. When you get your biopsies at Evergreen they give you a rose. Guess what color they are? Yep PINK. The breast cancer ribbon? Yep PINK. Everything on the planet associated with breast cancer is of course PINK. Did I tell you I HATE PINK? So yesterday Angie texts me to ask how the procedure went (I got your back G) and I respond with "fine, did tell you I hate PINK". She says "so that new PINK bra I got you I should probably take back"? I said "unless you'd like it to be flying from your car antennae". I of course thought she was kidding. OH NO she wasn't. It is PINK polka dots with lace......................... She said "do you like it"? The cup size I liked: 38C. Get the picture? Thank you.
Cole will be going to Aunt Jani and Uncle Brent’s for 3-4 days so he doesn't have to see mom and be worried. It will also get him away from the worst of it and Jeff won't have to worry constantly about Cole jumping on me. We will have to be vigilant when he comes home. He had his tonsils out late last year so he understands what surgery is. I am really grateful for that. It was a good experience for him, at the hosp, so he doesn't have any scary thoughts in there.
Thank you all truly for all your love and support. We have the greatest family and friends. This hasn't been easy, nor is it going to be, but your love and concern has been touching and helpful. It has been a bonus to be in touch with so many of you. In a heartbeat our life as we knew it has changed. Temporary as it may be we will do everything in our power to have it make us better people. Jeff and I both believe good will come from this, some already has and we expect it to continue. This is not going to kill me. I have the utmost confidence in the docs and the hosp.
Keep sending the love,
Mary
