Mat and I went to our choir rehearsal tonight, and I left with my soul bursting with a love for choir music!  We are preparing for a concert in November, not sure of all the details yet, but I'll post them when I know.

I got the word today that our insurance has preauthorized me for a profilactic mastectomy (other side) and reconstruction.  I am so grateful!  That is what I've wanted all along, to have the other side removed.  Why would I want to keep it?!  My surgeon, in doing his job, told me I have a "slightly" higher chance of having cancer pop up there.  Like I want to risk that!  ANY chance of more cancer is too high, seems like a no-brainer to me.  The tissue will come from my backside this time.  : )  Surgery is October 18th.

Wow, sounds like a lot to go through, but peace of mind is worth it. When is this schedule for? I could donate some tummy tissue? :)

Oct 18th?! Well, at least you'll be all recovered by the holidays. Does Mat have some time off around then?

Love you,
