> [@ivylass](#): > > Ivylad (because he loves any excuse to spend money on me) made this weekend Cancer Free Boobies Celebration weekend. Today we saw Wall-E and ate an early dinner at Outback, and Sunday, all four of us are going to Silver Springs. I haven’t been since I was a kid, and we’ve never gone as a family. So glad you’re making a celebration of the weekend! Have a wonderful time, and feel no single moment of regret that the tumor won’t be there to share in the fun!! 😉 ---

Hooray for cancer-free boobies!! All the fireworks are hereby dedicated to our boobies!! My favorite thing to wear on my baldness was biker do-rags. Ebay has great ones, and then I sewed my own after I bought some for patterns. It was too hot to wear anything heavy or itchy. ---

I saw the chemo doctor today. I start on Monday. They’ve scheduled it for the afternoon, so I’ll be able to work a half day, then leave a bit early on Tuesday so I can get my white blood cell booster shot. I have an appt on Sunday to shear (or as close to it as I can stand) my scalp. The nurse said the hair usually starts to fall out after the first treatment. Eight treatments over sixteen weeks, starting Monday. Here we go! ---

**ivylass** - Got the letter today. “We found an irregularity. Please contact your doctor to arrange more testing.” Hopefully they’ve just found the spot they were looking closely at a few years ago before they decided it was nothing. But if so, they should’ve compared it against previous films, since I’ve had them all done at the same place. Oh, well. I’ll keep you posted. StG ---

When my mammo came back with an irregularity, they called and gently told me that I needed further testing. I went back in the following week for an ultrasound at which time they found absolutely nothing. I was laying on the table watching the furrowed-brow expression of the technician doing the ultrasound getting more an more anxious only to find out that she was furrowing because she simply couldn’t find anything abnormal in the breast. Good luck, StG. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cancer-free-boobies/455202.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cancer-free-boobies/455202.md?page=6)
