THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.....I LOVE YOU TO PIECES FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT, PRAYERS AND WELL WISHES, I COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT YOU.....
(PS....it's Saturday Morning and I sat with my hot cup of coffee and cried like a baby, you have no idea how excited and relieved I am that God wasn't ready for me yet, it probably sounds silly but everyone is still asleep and I am thrilled once again to be able to listen to the birds, train, cows and feel the sun come up)
......Do you wonder what I have been doing about this whole cancer thing??? Bob's Uncle has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma Lung Cancer and I have been helping him and his aunt with day to day activities. I am also his VA advocate so my plate is getting fuller and fuller as the days go by. At first, when I was all done with my surgeries and chemotherapy, I didn't want to think about cancer, let alone be around anyone who had it. I just couldn't bear to see or hear about anyone who had it. I had my fill of it, just losing my Dad to it and then getting it myself. Enough was enough.
But then, my Uncle Duane, was told on May 2nd, his 83rd birthday, that he had Lung Cancer due to the fighting on the USS Maryland as it was from the asbestos that was on the ship and I just kicked it into overdrive. I am working on becoming a "voice" for our veterans who were effected by this asbestos poisoning in WWII and as I research it, I find out that my Dad may have been exposed to it to, being he was in infantry and artillery in the Korean War. I guess it is giving me a validation for his death as no one should have to go thru what he went thru and to sit there and watch your Dad die in front of you over a 3 day period is something NO ONE should have to go through. I'm quiet a fighter when it comes to our vets and I will now get off my soap box.... WE LOVE OUR TROOPS!!!! ~Amy~

You are so pretty in your new picture. I love your hair. It's hard to believe it's been a year. I'm so happy for you.
Wow! Your foobs look GREAT!
I've seen lots of pictures of breast reconstruction and yours is at the top of the list. They look very soft and natural and the addition of the nipples makes a huge difference.
CONGRATULATIONS on getting a fabulous result!
