On February 17, Was a start of a nightmare. I went to several appointments to to find out my cancer has returned. Yes returned. The first time was in 2013 at that time it was called ICIS only had a biopsy , they removed the cancer. this time it’s called a her2 along with a few other lumps. I had to make a tough decision. My first decision is to go ahead and have a double mastectomy. The other decision is the type of surgery to have. There are some options and I’m talking to two surgeons. On May 29 will be my surgery.. My daughter’s coming in from out of state to take care of me for about two weeks. Brian is gonna continue working since he is our breadwinner.. my recovery will be up to 6 to 8 weeks, I won’t be able to use my arms for quite a while. I’ve always been the one that takes care of everybody when they’re either sick or has had surgery in our family.. I don’t expect my kids to have to cook and clean, but they will do their best. Since Brian works long hours Sunday through Thursday night shift is gonna be hard for him to help cook meals and put up with my stubbornness.. I would like him to be able to not worry about me and focus. Focus on work.. I will be needing to be transferred to my appointments in those hard couple weeks. And this is where I need your help.. I’ve had friends reach out and ask if there’s anything I need to let them know. Well here it is I’m asking if you could help me support my family with not worrying about meals. Stubbornness usually comes when I see a pile of dishes in the house. It’s just a disaster from the family having busy schedules and I don’t wanna be worried about that. If you all know me I’ve had surgeries before and right after surgeries I’m in the kitchen, cleaning cooking vacuuming and taking care of the house. These are the times that I was with my kids who were living at home with them being grown up it is now Brian and I Brian and I with my daughter being here for two weeks. It would be nice to just be able to focus on how to get to my daily routine with help..
Some of you know, Brian will eat anything and and we don’t have diet restrictions. The only thing is is I can’t stand onions or peppers or hot spicy food..
