Hello glad,
You made a well informed decision. I know someone from the radiology department where I had the biopsy and her mother of 60 years old had a double mastectomy and was happy with her decision. You are a very courageous woman, glad.

Golden, I am going to try the exercise you are suggesting. Every bit of information helps and I will do my best to try everything everyone is suggesting. I want to thank you for thinking of me.

My daughter in Colorado is improving and moving along since her infection with COVID. Her doctor told her not to return to work just yet, to wait until all symptoms are gone. So, she is going to work remotely for a bit longer.

It’s sad that fully vaccinated people like my daughter are getting COVID. Be careful everyone, this Delta variant is so much more contagious and is more aggressive.

We are seeing more people test positive with the Delta variant in Louisiana too.

Thank you, Barb,
I will give it a try. Custom is expensive but if this treatment does not work I will take your advice have them made custom. Thanks again Barb.

Hello Everyone,
I just got my results from the radiologist and it is a benign fibroadenoma a non cancerous tumor. I am so relieved I can't tell you. I actually cried when I told my family. Brother wants to celebrate and takes us all out to dinner which I will take him up on. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

EB, rolling your affected foot over a frozen ice bottle helps plantar fascists. I've recently had 2 cortisone shots for mine. And custom orthotics are SO worth the price.

Glad, I'm so happy with your outcome--and your intuition.

Llama, take care and hope they get to the bottom of your syncope or vaso-vagal.

Has anyone heard from Midkid58 since her surgery?

Llama -so sorry Hope they get to the bottom of this. Mother fainted when she had gut issues. I keep Imodium with me.

Glad - YAY!!! very good news. Absolutely you made the right decision. Hope you can go home soon.

EB (((((hugs))))) and prayers for the biopsy and also your foot problem. Plantar fasciitis is very painful. I found that extending and flexing my ankles before I got up in the morning really helped.

Initial pathology report from bilateral mastectomy is excellent. At this time, no chemo or radiation necessary. Post up today. Maybe I can go home.

I made the right decision on the bilateral mastectomy, DCIS was much more widespread than originally thought. If I had chosen another lumpectomy I would be back to ground zero wondering if I should get a mastectomy or bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction of not. No reconstruction at this time that can cause a whole new set of health issues.

Thinking of you EB.

My previous post which Chris responded to was somehow taken out with a software update.
So this past Thursday I drove my husband to his inguinal hernia surgery. Had insomnia Wednesday night. Two weeks ago I had failed to eat thinking I would be ok when driving him to 2 procedures. I amended that this time by eating and hydrating VERY well - even packing 4 ham and cheese sandwiches and drinks to take with us. My plan failed. Had x12 colon upsets in rapid succession. I became near syncope and quickly had to advocate for myself. I walked in to the surgery center front desk and told them. They brought me back to the rear and called EMS for me. Daughter had to get her Daddy when he was ready to go home. I stayed overnight in the hospital until 6 PM on Friday. They wanted to send me home at midnight, but Hospitalist okayed staying. Daughter had to pick me up of course. We then had to p/u husband's RXs and then mine. Scheduled with my gastroenterologist. I had bloodwork, heart function and 3 meals. Second near syncopal episode.

Chris: Thank you. This time I knew not to skip food, BUT my plan to eat and hydrate very well failed when I experienced near syncope.

This past Thursday I took my husband to have his inguinal hernia surgery. Had insomnia on Wednesday night. I had a plan to hydrate and eat very well, which I did. I even brought 4 ham and cheese with us plus drinks. My plan failed and I had x12 colon upsets in rapid succession. Two weeks ago I had failed to eat when I drove him to 2 procedures. While waiting on Thursday for him, I experienced a near syncope episode and promptly advocated for myself before being unconscious. I walked into the surgery center front desk and told them. They brought me to the rear and they called EMS for me. Our daughter had to take over to get her Daddy later that day when he was finished. I stayed overnight in the hospital and had blood work, heart function and the 3 standard meals. Originally they were going to send me home at midnight, but the Hospitalist okayed the overnight stay. My daughter of course had to pick me and I was released at 6 PM on Friday. Daughter and I had then had to p/u my husband's RXs and also mine. Scheduled to see my gastroenterologist. An elder such as myself can (and did in my case) become dehydrated quickly.

I went to see a new podiatrist today about my severe foot pain after I received the second Covid vaccine. He told me he did not think it was from the vaccine. Results came back from the MRI from last Friday.He discussed this with me and said my foot was a mess and a lot of problems.
Plantar fasciitis main problem
Multiple sprains to foot ligaments from mild to moderate
cyst second metatarsal
tendinitis and arthritis throughout right foot

Plan
Fitted me for a $50 Pro Orthotic Support and if does not work and relieve my pain he will fit me for custom $400 Orthotics next week another followup

At least I know there was something very wrong with my foot. He did say it can be healed with exercise and correct Orthotics

Hello glad,
I did not sign up for MyChart as of yet. The radiologist is going to call me as soon as the biopsy results come back.

know what you mean gladimhere. My husband is in ICU right now and the test results on site, you don't really understand them. It's all about the calls and face to face questions.
