MessageHi Judy!
Melissa & I have been thinking about you often, and are so glad to hear your surgery is scheduled and you have worked through many tough decisions. This may sound weird, but I wanted to share a little experience with you from my Unitarian Church in Evanston. One wall of the church (the wall the congregation faces) is an enourmous glass window overlooking trees and nature. Every week there is a time in the service for silent prayer/meditation. A couple weeks ago it was snowing hard during the service, and I was thinking of you - at the same time I was completely transfixed by this enourmous pine tree out the window, getting beaten with snow and freezing rain. Last week, the tree was radiant and glistening, and more beautiful than ever, and I thought of you again. You are weathering your storm head-on, with such grace and strength, like the tree. I am so touched that you are sharing your story. Like the tree, you remind me that life can throw so many unexpected things our way. You remind me that the more we face obstacles head on, allowing the love and support around us to hold us up when we feel week, we have the capacity to grow SO much, and open ourselves to an entirely new perspective on life. I have no doubt you will emerge from the storm glistening and radiant. smilie
We love you!!!
Melissa S. (and B.)

MessageJudy, You don't know me, but I know Joe Janes here in Chicago, who knows you, and thus now I do...kinda. I love that you've chosen to share your story online for your loved ones to read and support you, and for others to come and find out that they're not alone. In that ilk, may I recommend "Why I Wore Lipstick: To My Mastectomy"
by Geralyn Lucas, that is of course if you have not already read it. I suggest it because it is a well spun tale, much like your own, of a woman battling her breast cancer, and your website reminds me so much of it. Continue the fight, and you WILL get your body back! Take care.

MessageMost people get lumps of coal this time of year, Judy. Leave it to you to do something different.

Hope you are doing well and I will continue to send positive happy healthy thoughts your way. The blog is inspiring.

- Joe

MessageHi Judy
sounds like you have made some great decisions and that you have had some fantastic advice. Oh and I have been thinking about how you said that you filled out the forms, answerered the questions from the nurse and then the doctor asked all the questions again and didnt read the notes previously. This sort of stuff is totally normal and will happen a lot more through this process. It is sort of finding out these sorts of things; am I talking to the right person, are we both talking about the same breast ie they want to make sure they are doing surgery on the correct breast, do you have a good understanding of what is going on, are you adding anything new to your story which they can help you with, and a possible myriad of other things. So we are told to do this and it will repeatedly happen, frustrating though it is for you at times!
My friend who had breast surgery got luscious photo of her showing fantastic breasts to maximum advantage (without looking slutty!) pre surgery, mmmmm potential christmas present idea, or not depending on your sense of style Judy!
Much love to you and your family

MessageJudy, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this...but I am so glad (and not at all surprised!) that you're attacking this with humor and total focus. You, Heather, and Daphne are in my prayers this holiday season (and girl, I don't pray much). But I'm definitely thinking about you.
