Well friends i've just been told what I'm having for Christmas, it's called Grade 3 breast cancer so I will be having a double mastectomy either 19th or 22nd December. hugs n roses, Meganne

Prayers for you!
Ang Angel Hugs too!

Please forgive me dear Cute family, if I don't get to answer everyone in person, just know that I have read and cherish every single message of love and support, that each one of you have taken precious time to write to me.

Today is my youngest niece's 35th Birthday and I am hoping to spend a couple of hours with my Sister and her family tomorrow for a little Birthday lunch. But of course I still have to finish making her Birthday card ('cause I always seem to leave things 'til the last minute. LOL)

I have medical appointments all this coming week, in the lead-up to Friday or Monday's Surgery.

I still have nothing planned for Christmas as we were going to have our family get together on the 20th and seeing as I don't yet know which day my OP will be, we've had to just let it hang in mid air until we know for sure.

And of course, as usual I have left everything until the last minute, thinking I would have plenty of time next week to round up everything all in one exciting shopping spree, (since I didn't have my machine to make anything). Told you I leave everything until the last minute! LOL!!!!

Now I've just gone through my dresser drawers and discovered I don't have any PJ's suitable for wearing after breast surgery..... So i'll have to do some quick shopping or sewing so I won't get arrested for indecent exposure. ;-0

And since I'm going to lose my hair later anyway I may as well give myself another clip before my forced holiday, it certainly will save me worrying about having to coiff my hair... LOL!!

I left a message for my son that I want a wig for Christmas, you know the type, bright orange or yellow fuzzy hair like the clowns wear!

I may even buy one and wear it into theatre to break down any sombre mood of the doctors and nurses.
My surgeon was extremely upset when she delivered the news, probably because, being the comedienne that I am, all our previous visits had been (professional) but fun. I ended up giving her a hug before we left, i've been a messenger, of bad tidings, many times and i just hated it when I used to get shot. :-}} So i thought my colourful wig might let her see i haven't let it affect my sense of humour and it's all good.
Well friends, a pair of scissors is waiting for me and many BC books to read and forms to be filled out
So I hope you will please understand that I will try and check in here but just may not be able to keep up with all the replies as much as I would dearly love to.
I love you all and I acknowledge you all as some of the most beautiful friends and family i have ever had the profound pleasure of knowing.
hugs n roses, Meganne

All I can say is : You will be in all my friends and my prayers (in South Africa). There is only ONE PERSON you can rely on under these circumstances and this is GOD !!! May HE give you the strength you need.

Keep you chin up, meganne. When looking into the dark there is always a guiding light to reach for. Focus on that light and don't give up. Sounds like you have a lot of support and a great new fiance.
Hugs

Sorry to hear those news, Meganne. I'll keep you in my prayers, too. Hugs, Nini

I'm so sorry to hear this news from anyone. I will keep you in prayer and thought.

I'm so sorry to hear this result, Meg. I wish I could give you a huge big HUG, but it will have to be a cyber one. Jerrilyn has given you such good advice to stand up to this enemy and you sound like you have a really positive attitude. We'll all help you through this and keep you in our prayers. HUGS & *4U.

OK, so now the enemy has a name. Form the way it looks in your mind and visualize how the resources in your body along with the treatments you will be getting can destroy it. You can beat this. Keep positive thoughts, be sure and eat properly, get all the rest you can and feel my arms around you, dear sister. I can't imagine the way that you are feeling, I'm sad that you are having to go through this. Hugs, roses and chocolates. Jerrilyn

Meg you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Just know you have a large (Cute ) family doing the same .

Meg, I am planning on doing the 60 mile breast cancer walk next year... I will be putting my GM's name (she survived BC in the 60's) and my friend's Mom's name (she passed 2007) on my shirt... I would consider it an honor to add your name right there Meg! You will beat this... FIGHT.

I pray that this cancer stop and be gone, in the mighty name of our LORD, Jesus. And I will continue praying this daily. xoxo teri
