Hey! So brief update: visits today were good. Dr.Ingersoll said exactly what I hoped she would - no radiation necessary! We discussed it at length and she said that the risks would outweigh the benefits at this point so yay!! Also visit with Dr. Shale was great. He is super pleased with the way I am healing. He filled the tissue expanders to the point he wanted today. The actual filling was not particularly painful but such a weird sensation! I am a bit of a sore mama tonight though! In general I am feeling pretty good though- finally over that awful pukey nonsense! So the current game plan remains to meet with Dr. Miranda on the 26th to finalize our chemo plan. Not sure of a chemo start date yet. I go back to McKay on Jan. 3. Dr. Shale will expand me again and I meet with Megan from the cancer society to have a wig fitted and ordered. I'm actually rather excited about choosing a sexy wig :) Dr. Ingersoll told me that my hair will probably fall out about 2 weeks after chemo starts - a new look for a new year! I have been blessed to have excellent physicians every step of this journey. I love and trust every one of them. I am filled with gratitude every single day! As always thank you all for countless acts of service. I am over whelmed by the love and generosity that we have been shown. We have been truly blessed. This will be a memorable Christmas for our family- mostly because of the Christlike love we have been shown! Love and blessings to all. ~ Melissa
