One year ago today I got my BRCA results.  What a difference a year makes.  My Mom was in Hawaii and I was walking into Hoag to see a genetic counselor.
A year has already gone by and I'm already 2 months into the healing part from my surgery.  I met with D. Orringer last week and we are already in talks for my next surgery.  I will wait until the first part of the new year.  It may be a 4-6 hour surgery.  Won't even try to compare the two procedures.  I was feeling a little blue for various reasons, but just feeling better and yet knowing I have to do this again, so soon.  I knew going into this it would be about a year process total.  And yet this year flew by.
Need to stay in the NOW.  Count my blessings.  Continue to embrace all the love I have received.  Continue to love my Lovey and puggies.  Thank God for my family and friends.  
Again I am humbled by this experience, but it's not over.  Gotta dig myself out of the blues when it hits.  And if I have some trouble doing this, there's always Mom.  I think my emotional ebb and flow is normal.  I think having the periodic blues just goes along with the territory.  
For all those continuing to stay in touch, I thank you.  
Be well,
Janeen
