I would like to APOLOGIZE for my absence on the board these last few days. A few weeks ago I discovered FIVE SMALL LUMPS in my BREASTS!! Needless, to say this created quite a bit of anxiety and stress for me…
It is RARE that I BREAK DOWN and cry but I fear that over the last three weeks I have done that on more than one occasion. Because of my bone marrow disorder I am at a VERY HIGH RISK for various types of CANCER. While I was prepared to deal with LEUKEMIA this year… I WAS NOT ready to deal with BREAST CANCER and so I had to take a few steps back from everyone to process, accept and figure out how to deal with the situation…
I am a scientist at heart and by training so I have been working closely with my doctors in regards to my treatment and so these last few weeks I took some time away from my WONDERFUL MEN to reacquaint myself with breast tumors, cysts, fibrocystic breast disease, estrogen dominance etc…
When I get in the RESEARCH ZONE it is HARD to get me out of it… I postulate, hypothesize, document etc… etc… Last week-end I decided that if I had to have THE GIRLS removed that I was going to HAVE FUN with them!! Hence, this thread and the plethora of photos…
At the age of 19 I had a breast tumor removed and then I had reconstructive surgery at the age of 22 so, I had very GOOD REASONS to be concerned… and I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S patience with me these last few weeks!!
YESTERDAY, I was at the radiology clinic for most of the day and to say that I was PETRIFIED when the RADIOLOGIST wanted to TALK WITH ME was an UNDERSTATEMENT!! Because of the rarity of my disorder she wanted to ask me some questions and discuss the results…
To my DELIGHT & SURPRISE she told me that AT THIS TIME I DO NOT HAVE BREAST CANCER!! I literally started CRYING right in front of her and the sonogram technician!! I want to THANK EVERYONE for all of your SUPPORT… All of the texts, phone calls, flowers, SKITTLES etc… have meant the WORLD TO ME!! Thank you to those of my men that allowed me to literally CRY ON THEIR SHOULDER… Your generosity and kindness WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!
To my lovely ladies in San Antonio… thank you for the encouraging emails… the uplifting prayers… the funny BOOB JOKES!! Lol… Thank you to EMBER for being a TRUE INTJ FEMALE and for UNDERSTANDING & HELPING me reevaluate my business plan as SLAVE GUINEVERE and offering her own expertise and suggestions in case I DID HAVE BREAST CANCER and if I had had to have a DOUBLE MASTECTOMY… From one INTJ to another… Thank you my friend for understanding me and for not letting me WALLOW & WHINE for TOO LONG!!
THANK YOU to all of the LOVELY LADIES who have participated in our new HOT COTTON SHIRT THREAD!! In between appointments today and after I pick up my munchkins from school I will be going through all of the photos so that I can comment on the BEAUTY THAT has been afforded to me by LADY V, KARLA, NIKKI WHITE, SNOW KITTY… etc..
From the bottom of my heart…
THANK YOU…
Your devoted & grateful slave,
Guinevere
P.S.
I would like to add that while I do not go into ALL OF THE SPECIFICS of my disorder online that I am ALWAYS OPEN to receiving and answering any QUESTIONS or CONCERNS that you might have in regards to my health and my treatment regimen…
I am very comfortable with my physical challenges and if me sharing my personal challenges with you will make you more comfortable when we are together then I am HAPPY to oblige…
It is my desire to make your time with me relaxing and pleasurable…
P.S.S.
I will be UPDATING my calendar and posting an ad later on tonight…
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY SAN ANTONIO
