Unfortunately, I have gone through something very similar to your journey with my mother, so please never hesitate to call upon me for not only my medical expertise, but also my understanding, which fortunately only few people have in these circumstances. Hope we can come visit you guys soon! By the way, here's the link to that blog I was telling you about with the woman who blogs her entire journey through mastectomy and reconstruction. It has a lot of pictures, which will help you to feel a little more prepared for what's to come...<br /><br />http://angelaslaten.blogspot.com/2010/10/these-boulders-upon-my-chest.html<br /><br />Please feel free to call/text me at any time (even in the middle of the night!) :)Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995165454922170001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734173965245090003.post-55841678221173785132012-03-02T21:11:14.805-05:002012-03-02T21:11:14.805-05:00Erin, I cannot even believe that you are having to...Erin, I cannot even believe that you are having to push this elephant. I wanted to pass along a couple sites that might offer some support & information for your journey. The first, http://www.imermanangels.org/, lets you connect with someone else that has or is going through what you are going through. The other, http://tlt4c.org/, was mainly developed for caregivers, but has a lot of good information on it, and you can always use the contact link if you have any additional questions. I am praying for you and know that you will get through this because you have always had such a positive attitude. BTW - your daughter is beautiful! Take care!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305052924823884067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734173965245090003.post-1672366681931388042012-03-02T08:30:34.478-05:002012-03-02T08:30:34.478-05:00erin, as i think of the day of your surgery, i am...erin, as i think of the day of your surgery, i am reminded how upbeat you were. how encouraging you were to everyone else and not wanting to be a bother to anyone, which you weren't. you are very strong, and determined which will help you defeat this. your recovery nurse was in tears with us telling us how steve was trying to get you dressed to go home and how sweet you both were, knowing the fight that is ahead.she was so worried that you have no body fat to fall back on!!! it's good that we can laugh about the milk, considering the reason for it flying all over the or. he said they needed towels milk was flying everywhere. i think you could have supplied a small third world country with milk if you had the opportunity.joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200924079240229027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734173965245090003.post-77015800286351901812012-02-29T21:06:03.093-05:002012-02-29T21:06:03.093-05:00Erin, thank you for sharing your journey with us. ...Erin, thank you for sharing your journey with us.

It just seems so surreal. It is at times like this that make me so sad to be so far away. I hope you are recovering well and that you are able to keep your spirits up as you wait for more answers. You are in our prayers.

I am always here for you if you need me. I will suggest that you talk to cousin Jane Morrison. She went through the same thing around the age of 30. She may have some words of wisdom from her experience. I love you!!Create with Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697462497951231611noreply@blogger.com
