Plastic Surgeon

So today I met with the plastic surgeon to discuss all of my options. There are really two options that I can do. One is to use the fat and muscle from my abdomen area to make my breasts, which just kind of creeps me out. It's like of like a tummy tuck, but not fully. I wouldn't have any of my ab muscles left, and I'm not sure that I'd want that at all. It's a longer surgery, a longer recovery time, and it would be much harder for me to do things.

The other surgery is just using implants, which sounds so much easier and more my speed. Less surgery, less recovery, no damage to my muscles. And if I don't like it, I can always then do the other surgery.

On another note, I'm glad that the first set of chemo treatments is over. I'm still tired all the time, which will happen until I'm done with chemo. But right now, food doesn't taste good - everything has a metallic taste to it. In one way, it's not bad since I'm not eating as much. But in another way, it does suck since nothing tastes good. Hopefully that'll be done by Thanksgiving. I want food to taste normally.

And, hopefully, I'll get off these meds so I can have a drink. I know I can't drink with the next round of chemo, so it would be nice to have a weekend where I can enjoy a few drinks.
