Preparing my mind and body for reconstruction surgery has been the most positive and exciting part of my recovery. I am so looking forward to it - I'm going in the hospital in a couple days to have the tissue expanders placed for both breasts. While I am in surgery, they will do a simple mastectomy of my remaining (right) breast -- this will significantly decrease the chances of the breast cancer returning. Then in a couple months I'll have the expanders replaced with implants! yay. I've told everyone that I don't want to look younger, I just want to look as close to the same as I used to. I've heard some women don't go through the reconstruction process, but I want to. I'm a young 50 and I feel I have many more active years of life left in me!
There must be an analogy to this physical reconstruction to my spiritual reconstruction...hmmm...for the next blog.
