Pat's Tranquil Place

Hi everyone!   Anyone  out there having or have had  a double mastectomy lately?   Let me know how you are dealing with it.   I am interested because we all have our own ways of dealing with life's curve balls.   On the upside..,,,...today was a beautiful day.     Sunny and a whole lotta wind.   Stay tuned!

Today was kind of hard....At times the fact that these are coming out is really scary even though I know it will save my life.  Tomorrow I will see how I feel.   Sometimes a good nights sleep is all a girl needs.

Well it has been a minute since I have posted.  This time I will keep the story going.  I will have double mastectomy in one month.  Not the kind of news anyone wants to hear or face but this is real life.   First denial, then oh well here we go again, then reality.   One beautiful aspect that is coming out of it all is the full on support I am getting from women who I do not know and are sharing their journey with me.   One really values life and the importance of the smallest simple pleasures in life.  I have been looking at videos from YouTube and the brave women who show you what they look like and what to expect is oh so helpful.  Makes it more real to me.  I wonder if I can be this brave. We shall see.  I have gone a decade dealing with cancer and having a double mastectomy is a new chapter of my life and new journey to say goodbye.  It is always caught early and for this I am very grateful.  Again-positive...
