26MAY25 UPDATE………..

Today is always a hard day for me. Twenty-four years ago my 4-year old daughter and I were riding 4-wheelers. My 4-wheeler slid on a hill and flipped over on me and her, crushing us. I went to one hospital and she went to another. My insides were a mess, but my sweet little red head did not survive the accident. If you have ever lost a child, you understand that is a pain you would not wish on anyone. I know Memorial Day is to honor our fallen, but I find my self unable to do much of anything.

God allowed me to live that day………. And I say live, because He didn’t leave me here to be dead. That is sometimes easier said than done.

So to update my Breast Cancer…….. I have a surgery date. It is June 24. The cancer is in the bottom of my breast, but there are lesions wide spread in the breast that could turn into cancer. For this reason, they are taking the whole breast. They will send it and a couple of lymph nodes to be tested. Pending the results, they will decide whether or not to get chemotherapy. Because they are removing the whole breast, they do not see a need for radiation. They are trying to put the implants in at this surgery , so I still get to look like a girl. If they are unable to, I will require another surgery for the implants. Then…….. after I am healed up, I will have a hysterectomy. All of this going on while we are trying to build a house. So we have set that on the back burner, for a minute.

I know God is in control and like I told my husband yesterday……… The worst imaginable thing to me, was the death of my daughter…….. this breast cancer stuff is not gonna even come close.

Again I want to thank all of you who have supported me on this forum……. A stranger who, because of good humans, feels like she is not alone.

I am sorry to hear of your tragedy with your daughter. I have never experienced anything as tragic as the loss of a child of cancer. You always are in good spirits, and I appreciate your resilience. I hope that our paths cross in person some day.

God bless you, Tonya. Many thoughts and sending many prayers your way. Going through something similar with my wife (not cancer). It started with a trip to ER on Feb 11 with stomach pain, and life saving surgery on Feb. 14. 2 weeks in hospital and pretty much bed ridden since, healing and waiting for corrective surgery in early July. God has blessed her with a prognosis of a 100% recovery in about 6 months to 1 year following surgery. We are both grateful for that, and will pray for a 100% recovery for you as well.

I would like that.
 
24JUN25…………. UPDATE

I am back home from my Pre-op. My surgery will be in the morning at 7am est. The plan is to remove my left breast. A biopsy of a couple of lymph nodes. Place a drain in. Insert a breast implant on the left and a lift on the right for symmetry. I am suppose to go home tomorrow evening. The surgery is suppose to last 3-5 hours. I will let everyone know how it goes when I’m able to be back on the forum. So far I’m in good spirits……..I’m getting a little nervous, but I know God is still in control, even if I’m not. So……….

There are so many of you on here that have been so very kind to me. Way to many to name, for fear I would leave some one out. You have shown “a stranger kindness” when you didn’t have to. Thank you.

I do however, want to thank @UniLover ……….. sir I have no idea what I would have done without you. You gave me answers when no one else would. You gave them freely and quickly. I truly believe God put you in my life so I would keep my sanity. I will never be able to repay the kindness you have shown me. Who would have thought our paths would have ever crossed. One day after all of this is over, I pray I get to meet you in person. Maybe at a poker game…… maybe at a race………. Maybe you and your wife can just have dinner with Norman and myself.

Until next time………….

7am, got it. I’ll be praying
 
26JUN25 UPDATE

I am home. I have had minimal pain. I have a lot of drainage, but they say that will go down. I also have a lot of swelling. They were however able to keep my girly part and just remove the cancer from the inside. They made an incision in the crease of my breast as to keep the scarring down. They inserted a blue dye, (which they failed to tell me) to trace the travel to my lymph nodes. They took a couple lymph nodes to test along with the breast tissue. I should have those results in the next 5-10 days. The results will decide if I have to have radiation or chemo. So……. Blue dye makes you pee blue. Imagine my surprise!
I am not sure if they put an implant in, I think they did. I I haven’t checked…. Hurts to dang bad. God know I was not built to stay in the bed all day, so I’ve been up since 6am. Walking around…… a little wobbly, but moving. And who knew you used your chest muscles so much…. I cannot open a pill bottle! I will try to only post when I’m NOT under the influence of pain meds…….. I equate that with drunk texting…… and some of you completely understand. lol .

Thank you again for all of the prayers, text, and kindness.

Sincerely,
Tonya
 
UPDATE 10JUL25………….

So I had my first appointment today with my breast surgeon. She stated that I did not have any cancer in my lymph nodes. And for me to comeback in a year for a checkup. She doesn’t think I need to have radiation, and would leave the decision for chemotherapy to the oncologist to make after one of my lab test come back. She did not like the way my girly part looked, so she wanted me to see the plastic surgeon. I already had a second appointment to have my drain removed…….. so after going 25 minutes to the wrong office…….. then back to the right office only to miss the doctor…….. I got my drain removed!!!! I now have a new appointment with the Plastic surgeon on Tuesday for him to look at my girly part. It is black…… so it is raising concerns. I am so thankful for everyone who has worked on me here at the Emory Winship Cancer Center. God knew I needed to have some kindness and efficiency ……… God is good all the time and All the time God is good!

I am 2 weeks post op and all I have been allowed to do is look at poker chips online…… do stuff online…….. and look up stuff for folks online. I asked when I can drive…… 6-8 weeks ……… I asked when I can operate my machinery………. 6-8 weeks ……….. I asked when I could get back to my regularly scheduled life ………… 6-8 weeks!!!! I should be up and running in about 6-8 weeks post-op. Trying to get my life back to normal. I still have 2 more surgeries before the end of the year and praying I have NO chemotherapy. Thank you all for everything.
 
Thanks for sharing. Soooo 6-8wks then?:unsure: That should be about the right amount of time to oooh and aaah over that new rack of Ba-Kawk 5's!! Praying everything continues to go smooth for you and your girly parts!!;) Take care Tonya!
