Aaaaand it's the 23rd ... these are the last few minutes with "my" manubrium I've had the last 38 years. Manubriums are overrated anyways. The surgery is actually called a radical resection of sternum with muscle myocutaneous/faciocutaneous flap; trunk. Yup, that's why I say I am having my manubrium removed with my plastic surgeon there to be sure I still look like me when I wake up, lol.
I'm pretty sure that's all I'm losing but Dr Boffa may need to cut away at my sternum too if the frozen biopsies come back showing cancer. He wants clear margins and so do we. I better come out with clear margins and hearing I'm NED, for sure!!
I keep asking myself "wtf am I doing?" lol I actually made this decision to do this? But ... I am also blessed to have this opportunity to rid my body of this nasty disease once again after being diagnosed the 2nd time with stage IV metastatic breast cancer.
As Dane Cook would say, "it's time to take a coma" and wake up feeling the worst pain I have yet to feel! There better be a morphine button waiting for me.
TeamLisa let's do this!! Let's get this over and put this in my past as another victory for us!! This isn't just any victory either, this is BIG! We're making miracles here! We're inspiring others who face this horrible disease and other diseases to keep fighting, keep a strong, positive mind and pray. In the words of Lisa Roberts, "let's flood heaven with our prayers!"
And let me see those pink shirts! I want my blog and Facebook swamped with pictures of ya'll wearing pink for TEAMLISA when I wake up!! Start posing and get posting ...
Lots of love everyone...and thank you for all your love, support, prayers and positive vibes. I am overwhelmed and it means so much. See ya on the flip side!! <3XXOO<3
