This is ironic. My weight has been skyrocketing lately, which is not my greatest concern, although I don't like it. Yesterday I went to the plastic surgeon to talk about reconstruction. I would prefer to do "natural" reconstruction, using my own tissue, rather than implants, which have to be replaced every 10-15 years through more surgery. Natural reconstruction would involve a much more major surgery right now (meaning this year), but no further surgeries. Anyway, the doctor said I was "svelte," and might not have enough extra tissue to do it that way without going smaller. I don't know how to feel about that!
At any rate, the decision does not have to be made right away. I'll look at the options again in April.
I could just go whole hog, and eat as much as I can, to improve my chances. LOL. But that probably wouldn't work, and I'd regret it. So I'm going to start writing down my food again, and by next week I'll be counting calories, even though I still might eat a bit more due to nausea, especially during chemo weeks. But at least I'll be conscious of what I'm eating.
