Met with the radiologist and plastic surgeon, of course they did not agree. The radiologist wants to continue with 5 1/2 wks of radiation post surgery. The plastic surgeon will go in at the same time as the mastectomy and put in an expander to stretch my skin. It is deflated during radiation. When radiation is complete he will fill it to my desired breast size!! Then he will match the other side. No surgery date yet. Angie gave me some Chinese shampoo that is supposed to stimulated growth. My head looks like a peach! My eyebrows and eyelashes are continuing to fall out. I look horrible, lets get this over with!!
Reading over this, this is probably too much information! Oh well. I have no shame, I am an open book.

Puke! I was so excited you didn't have to do radiation. That is such a bummer. Well, atleast your hair is starting to grow back a little. But...Chinese Shampoo??? What is with those New Yorkers?! :) She actually always finds the coolest stuff. Hope you're doing okay. Talk to you soon.
