My name is Laurie McCloud Bright. I am 44 years old and have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This is my story.... Women are Angels, and when someone breaks our wings we simply continue to fly.....on a broomstick.....we are flexible like that. ((If you want to read from the beginning, go to the first post in January and read them in chronological order (that means oldest date first :) UPDATE: I HOPE TO HAVE BEAT BREAST CANCER!!! SO FAR SO GOOD!

Genetic Testing
My genetic testing came back negative which is good news, since that would have meant they would have recommended taking both breasts in a double mastectomy. So it's just a single mastectomy with reconstruction. On Jan 31st they will take my right breast, check the lymph nodes and do a reduction and lift to my left breast. They will put a tissue expander in my right breast which they will fill with saline to stretch the skin. I will be a human balloon!! Should be about a 5-6 hour surgery and will probably have to stay overnight. Then we will let the healing begin!
