Hi Wendy! Yes, we're getting the rain today too! So glad your babies were smart enough to get out of the rain, mine were'nt......I ran out in the rain to staple plastic on their run. They were huddling in a corner peeping. And last night I pulled up a chair to watch them go into their coop. Did they go in? NO. They were doing the LOUD PEEPING and watched the big girls go into their coop and they stayed huddled in a corner again. It was getting dark so I crawled into their itty bitty run and scooped each one and showed them how to get up in the coop. I think I have to do this until they figure it out themselves. But I don't mind.

Wed I saw the surgeon and he said everything looks good. But he wanted me to do the CA125 blood test, so I had that done on Friday. I guess they want to be sure I'm totally cancer free before I start radiation. Or they need the test results to compare to? Not sure, and like a dummy I didn't ask. I think I'll blame that on "chemo brain". So I'm hoping when they get the results that no news is good news.

LOL..... I have been showing mine the way in at night too. It just takes a little training for that. It sure is worth it like you said. I think it gets them used to you better too. Mine are going to be easy going because i handle them everyday.
 
I'm not sure Pati. It depends on the Dr and the cancer. Did you have surgery at all? Usually they tell you after they've seen your innards and make a recommendation. Typically they do chemo first then radiation. My brother has renal cancer and he has the rarest of the rare type of renal cancer. No chemo or radiation for him. He has to get tested (not sure what kind of testing) and if they find the cancer again, they surgically remove it. There is no cure for him.

Like Luna said, it depend on the Dr. and the Cancer.

I could have chosen to keep my breasts and have a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. Sometimes the radiation causes a problem with the skins elastisity (sp?) and reconstruction is harder. Due to the fact that my cancer was already Stage 3 in one breast and showing signs of development in the other, I chose to go with a total bilateral masectomy (both boobs totally gone) I only want to go through this hell once. I think if I would have done one and then come back later and done the other that I wouldn't have been able to handle it emotionally.

I tell folks it was one heck of a way to have a boob job done but dang they look good!!
