Help I have sun poisening

June 9,2022


 OMG things have been going as smoothly as possible. Because I am so broken out, Dr. K decided to Boost me (target) for several days. I now have a four-day break to go to New York. 

Wearing a bra is so uncomfortable and I want to wear my new compression bra for the flight,



so I'll try to find tricks like cotton balls! 

I'm almost done with radiation. I then start my hormone blocker, which I had no side effect from so many years ago,


but I'm older and who knows!!

I do my lymphedema exercises but that can rear it's ugly head at any time and my "rash" can last for years. It's when I hear those things that I get discouraged. I'll never be my normal so I have to find a new normal.

2/21/2022 I don't know what triggered this feeling. I have been fine. Last night we were with the grandkids, other grandparents, the grandkids' parents and a couple of others. Maybe being in such a happy gathering did it. I am not going to speculate but I came home and cried.  I cried for my daughters and my best friend who lives on the other side of the country. I cried in fear of what I would hear from the BRCA test. I cried for what was.

After Surgery: What is it like

 3/15/2022 Although I am on pain meds and a little loopy, I wanted to get my surgery day down before I forget. I don't know if this is the protocol of all breast surgeries, but I saw a lot of people!  At 7:45 I was taken into the pre-op area where I was asked my name and birthdate a dozen times. So many times, that when a woman walked in, I just said my name and birthdate. She laughed and said that she knew my name but not my birthdate. "I'm Dr. Baker." Well of course I didn't recognize her. I only met her one time, and she had a net on her head and a mask and plastic covering her face. She had on scrubs so there was no white coat. In any case I was asked by lots of nurses health questions, got an IV put in with at some point saline and an antibiotic and off I went to Nuclear Medicine and saw a machine that looked like it was from outer space. I wondered if this is also the radiation machine but I didn't ask. Mitch, an RN, spent a long time explaining what wou
