My name is Runi and I was diagnosed November 16, 2005 just a few weeks shy of my 29th birthday. I was repeatedly told that I was too young and too healthy to have breast cancer. Cancer is not prejudice to anyone regardless of age, race or socioeconomic. This is my story and I hope people learn a great deal from it. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or want to simply talk.

One More Surgery...Hopefully the Last One in a Long Time
So less than 24 hrs I will have yet another surgery. I had my wisdom teeth pulled in high school. That was my only surgery until my excisional biopsy back in November of 2005 where my number of surgeries started to grow exponentially.
Excisional biopsy 2005
Right mastectomy/port 2006
Expander removal 2006
Port removal 2007
Left mastectomy w/expanders 2008
Implants to both 2008
2x oral surgeries 2010
Oral surgery to remove tad 2012
Lasiks 2012
There you have it, my list of surgeries since 2005. Remember, this is the one that scares me the most, even with blade free technology. They make you sign your life away including blindness and even worse vision. I've had my fair share of surgeries and my ups and downs. I know chances of complications weigh in about 1 to 3% but we know how my crazy mind gets, especially when it comes to stats.
I've researched my doc and I guess I need to have faith in him. Also, I don't know how long I'll live...there are no guarantees in life. Trust me, my vision is bad. I've had glasses or contacts since middle school I believe. Even if this doesn't correct it 100%, I'm hoping the glasses I'll eventually need will be much thinner or that I won't have to wear them all the time. Please send healing and positive energy my way.
