I belive my sleeve has saved my life. In late December, both my primary care physician and I noticed a lump in my left breast. Had a mammogram, was recalled for additonal photos and had both an ultrasound and biopsy that day, and result is I have breast cancer. Fortunately, it's treatable and I will have surgery to remove the lump probably at the end of the month, followed by radiation. I am working hard to get my BMI below the obese stage, as obesity compromises survival rates in women with estorgen-postivive, HER2 negative cancers, which is what I have. So, here's another positive result from my sleeve and the weight loss!!

I'm off to kick cancer's ass...pardon my French!

((((((((Fit))))))))) Hang in there lady, I absolutely know you can do this!!! Stay strong like you are now - and yes, work hard to lose those pounds. Please keep us in to loop on how you're doing!! I'm sending you all the positive vibes your way.

thanks so much!! I know this going to turn out ok, but the journey will be bumpy!

Fit,

I love your attitude and your energy! I know you will kick cancer's ARSE! This is another reason I decided to do VSG......cancer risks go down when you lose weight.

I had a scare with a colon incident after having had two polyps during my last scope. I waited for about 6 years to have another one and after watching Dr. Oz go through exactly what I did I decided to get my second one in Dec '10. It took two to be completely checked out, (very long story!) "butt" the doc found NONE this time! I wanted to kiss the nurse when I woke up! hehehe

We must be proactive in the fight for our health! Forget embarassament, inconvience, pride, pain or cost....we may only get one chance so I'm taking mine and running with it!!!

My thoughts are with you while you go through this journey! Stay strong!

I love your positivity!

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement. I have an MRI tomorrow, then a visit with my surgeon on WEdnesday. Still working out and making sure I'm eating well every day!!

I know you can do it! We are all rooting for you!!

Just an update. Had a second biopsy to rule out abnormalities spotted on pre-surgery MRI, and it was clean!!! So, back to the battle and all is well. Thank you for your support during this difficult time. VSG folks are simply the best.

Happy Valentines Day to you all--
