I may get that boob job after all

Well, I had a mammogram last Thursday and today came the dreaded call.  It's probably nothing, but I have to go back for more views and an ultrasound.  This will be the fourth time this has happened to me and will probably result in a fourth biopsy.  I just don't know if I can deal with this again.  Maybe they can just take out the offending stuff and put some implants in there?  I am so sick of this stuff.

Aww, Linda. How frustrating for you. Here you are, good things are happening with your body, and then an old nemesis pops up. I hear ya about wanting to stop this from recurring. I'd feel the same way. Maybe it's time to sit down with your doc and decide on what is a good long term solution. You must feel like a yo-yo. Perhaps the recent estrogen boost caused by losing your fat has aggravated your boobs and is causing a flare up. I had no idea about that side-effect of WLS until my PCP mentioned it on Friday.  She said the fat also releases vitamin D. But I bet you knew that. Don't let this disappointment get you off-track. Find a good way to release the stress. Whack the couch with a tennis racket!

Thanks Patty!  The "whack the couch with a tennis racket" made me laugh -- just what I needed tonight.  It really made me feel better.  I suppose that I might be able to medically justify some new boobs if this stuff keeps up.  I hate going through this. I hadn't thought about the estrogen release stuff, but that is true.  It does suck - just when I'm feeling good to have this happen. Linda

I'm glad it helped. I actually had a therapist who had me do this! She had a big, overstuffed pillow that she laid on a couch and I could have at it!  Shout at the pillow too. Feels really good.

I'm sorry.  Here's hoping for a big old negative on the test.  It is just unfortunate that you still have to go through it all. Lori

Linda, I'm crossing my fingers that everything will be OK. What a bummer to get that call-take care and keep us posted!

Please know you are in our hearts! Here's hoping that test is negative! Silly boobs ;o) Lcuky guys imagine if they had to contemplate tesicle implants?? lol Hope you're smiling! Have a great day Linda

Well, Linda, I know you know that lots of time these things can be false, or just plain unreadable.  I know with your history though, you must be tired of going through this all the time.  I'm sorry it's happening again.  I'll keep my fingers crossed that it turns out to be nothing, but maybe it would be a good idea to talk about your options.  Just to give you something to think about. And who knows?  If there is a way to get new boobs paid for...well...would that be so bad?

Aww Linda hopefully this is just a minor thing...and know that all of us are sending you good thoughts and well wishes!

Hey Linda- I'm sorry you're going through this.  I hope its nothing.  Let us know what happens.  I don't blame you for feeling the way you do...
