The psychological healing can now begin and I suspect it will be a lot more 'complicated' than the physical healing. Like me, you are a co-survivor and will play an important role in your sister's path to wellness. She is in good hands :)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746329812128656600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739090309619863475.post-92060965975067001992008-11-30T08:34:00.000-06:002008-11-30T08:34:00.000-06:00John, my sis Brenda had her mastectomy Friday, t...John, my sis Brenda had her mastectomy Friday, the reconstruction wouldn't work (her tummy tissue was just too fragile and kept tearing) but she has NO more cancer! Getting her through the healing now, and the disappointment of waking up missing one boob. She can opt for reconstruction another way, we'll wait and see if she wants to go through any more surgeries. (3 so far for one boob!)Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952256367617122972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739090309619863475.post-22412789459952730332008-11-24T23:25:00.000-06:002008-11-24T23:25:00.000-06:00Jude, as always, thanks for the words of encourage...Jude, as always, thanks for the words of encouragement :)<BR/><BR/>Chad, I hope your book has given you some peace. You have walked in my shoes and gone further than I can imagine. I'm not quite 'ready' to read your memoirs just yet, but some day I promise I will.

I have just written <A HREF="http://moutray.wordpress.com/my-memoir" REL="nofollow">a memoir</A> about my life with her. Perhaps you could turn these posts into a self-published book, as well, as others might find it equally interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739090309619863475.post-41246356645796671712008-11-24T21:06:00.000-06:002008-11-24T21:06:00.000-06:00It was a year of spending enormous amounts of ener...It was a year of spending enormous amounts of energies in physical and emotional places, and now suddenly you have to remember how to r.e.l.a.x. and enjoy life again. It's just a matter of your body and mind getting used to it again John, don't worry. Oh, and also don't worry about "going back to" whatever you might have been before, life changing experiences are stronger than that and you'll continue to be an amazing human being, husband and father now! :-)Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952256367617122972noreply@blogger.com
