WOW...ever went to a conference and looked at everyone wondering if they had had surgery yet, cancer, or what? Well that is me for the next few days. I am at a conference for women (and even men) just like me...we are all BRCA positive. Sadly I could not help but staring at the women's chest areas wondering what kind of surgery they had and if "mine" will look that good (and in some cases BETTER)after cancer prevention surgery. It is surely something I will feel compelled to write more about later. It was emotional and I found myself sipping a glass of wine after checking in for the conference hoping to ease my anxiety...nothing takes away the fear of being BRCA positive though..NOTHING.
On a different note, I had set myself some pretty high goals prior to surgery, 3 bike "races" and 3 tris. I have successfully completed two bike races (2nd overall female in one and the other no one counts places) and 2 tris (2nd and 3rd place age group respectively). I have one more bike race July 10 and July 17 one more tri...then July 27 is my surgery and I will have to take some time off from anything. I will be one crabby girl for sure!
