I had just come home from my much dreaded mastectomy. So far, there are no post-operation complications that manifested. What an unbelievable experience this last 31 days have given me. I just went on my scheduled mammogram and everything changed. My routine, my body, my life! I guess I just have to be thankful that the cancer was caught early on. Otherwise, I would not even have the option to have my breasts removed and have them reconstructed. Yes, my doctor even gave me a calling card of his best friend, who happens to be the top rhinoplasty surgeon in Chicago. There is hope. I have a chance for a future.
I wonder how things are going to change from now on. Do I have a renewed appreciation of life and the things around me? I honestly do not know for sure yet. Right now, I just want to rest and get better.
