Reeka's blog: "Cancer stuffs"

The surgical oncologist feels that it is safe to wait for my mastectomy until after my cruise on Feb. 1-6. So I'll be able to make it through the holidays, NYE concert, and cruise without worrying about pain or only having 1 boob or being lopsided or anything. And I shouldn't have many problems getting the surgeons I've already seen, so I should be able to avoid extra consultations. The only downside is now I don't get to wear a "cancer survivor" tshirt on the cruise :P And there's still a chance the cancer will grow and become invasive by then... but this "blessing" by the oncologist is taking a HUGE load off my mind. If anyone's curious about the cruise: Ships & Dip V
