Topic: Sunday Check In
I have had to develop deep strength and faith (not sure how I am doing on this YET) and endure yet another medical drama. I recieved yet another life altering news on wed morning my doc called me at 8;50 am and said I have your results of brca gene testing and she said i am sorry to have to tell u this over the phone but i know u been waiting almost a month for results but u did test positive for brca 2. gene cancer causing gene
I was in shock, This gene has impact on my sons and daughters and it affects men for male breast cancer as well, I have seen so many docs in last few days my head is spinning. I would come into the oncologist GYN and you would think I was a handing them a death notice and they had the look of horror and sadness and they would give me a hug and say i am sorry, I asked the oncologist how many people walk threw your doors and have this and he said only 2 or 3 a year. It casues so many other cancers as well like melanoma ,pancreatic cancer, stomach he told me Ugh Feel like a dead man walking. Well looks like my new boobies were just training boobs and will be having a masectomy and ovaries removed asap but was told i can have immediate reconstruction surgery so I am getting new boobies EVERYONE .. humor here and I am going with gel if at all possible.
So was told no more weight loss as they can use my fat to fill in the new boobies may not have enough fat LOL SOMETHING I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HEAR lol I am thinking BACK OF MY HEAD oh yeah I am expert making lots of fat LOL
Current weight 167 holding and well more to follow on doc and surgery etc.. I am trying to grasph my head around this news I been threw rainbow of emotions and fight the tears back (I hate to cry) I do not want to hear one more person tell me I will be fine as that is not a conformiting thought to someone that has this gene we are not fine hello we have a gene that causes cancer and we need to fight and think positive and help me get threw process is what I will need
So everyone how is your week going trust me I could hear some good news from anyone? if not hey misery loves company LOL We are strong and A team right??????
Hugs to all

Hi all,
Its been a pretty dull week for me. This staying at home is really boring. Baby is getting big, he's finally holding his own bottle.YEH!! That's bad when the most interesting thing to happen all week is your baby holds a bottle.
Weight is hanging in there. I'm bouncing around between 132 and135. Diet is a little lacking in nutrition. Need to work on that.

Welcome back Jodi.
I think we have a few that need to gain weight back and a few of us that need well could lose some more but look ok . and a few that have not reached their goal they set out for themselves and some that have gained .
I need to lose for lowering my cancer risk but most docs think i look fine and wonder where i am gonna lose,more weight from. For me wearing a size 6 jean is goal to me and i got into a size six jeans may not breath while zipped up but i think a size 8 is where most of my jeans are.
I think we all are experienceing the changes of getting older life and it really sucks. I am waiting on my braca genetic test and very scared and worried as one of my sisters has tested positive for the breast cancer gene . The idea having a masectomy and ovaries removed scares me and going threw surgical menopause w/o hormone replacement therpy scares me. My hubby is gone so I will be getting the results alone. ugh!!!
well Jodi keep comming back . we have missed u

Hi everyone I am sure everyone is getting tired of stating their same weight week after week but it does help to make sure I am on track and not gaining weight I find checking in does keep me on my toes and accountiable as my weight in to docs is so far and few in btwn. I hope others know we need to do this becasue a one lbs weight gain. leads to a few and before u know it u are on the morbid side how we got here in first place one lbs at a time. I hope to hear from those that have gained weight as well because we all will most likely battle this at some time and we need to really be here for everyone.So let share a few laughs tears and few inspiring moments and not let this board die we been together for over 2 1/2 years and were are the A team.. So just check in and
Oh yeah I was 167 this am on a platue but I could be worse I could be gaining I figured We all can makre excuses why we dont post dont have time to embaressed or figured nothing new to report but don't fall into that trap we all cannot ignore our weight ins we did that before and that is how I got to be morbid obese.. so what did your scale say this week?
So what is everyone gonna do for the holidays? Are u gonna cook or whatI made a promice I am gonna be here even if i have gone back to work.. I may be only post this week but for me I need to be accountiable
