Follow-up and Pre-surgery discussion

I had my one month follow-up regarding the hemmorhage in my eye last Thursday, and my doctor said the blood had re-absorbed, and it looked fine. He will see me in one year! Yippee!

That same day, I saw my gyn here in town. He wanted to check my ovaries before my surgery, to make sure they did not need to come out at the same time as my mastectomy. He could only see one, but it looked fine. I am in good shape as far as that goes.

Regarding my hystorectomy, which we had discussed on the phone about doing in November...he said he was concerned my body would not be ready for it. I have a 4 year old, so I argued: "But I WANT to!" He explained my body has to be able to respond to infection. I said, "But I want to! I want to be done with all of this and enter 2007 with all the big stuff done.!" He said spring would be better. I said, "But my oncologist didn't seemed concerned." Like I said, I have learned from a 4 year old, haha!

We finally decided that we...he or I or both...would talk with my oncologist about surgery in November. He won't do it without her okay. That seems fair to me...even though I want to!
