Hi guys. Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers (and soup recipes!) It's been a crazy two weeks. They found this through an annual mammogram. I've been doing them annually since Mom had cancer 14 years ago. Be vigilant about going to get them when it's your time.
I have to go in Monday for a surgical clearance physical (surgery is 12+ hours if they are able to do reconstruction), Wednesday I have to get an injection near the lymph nodes, and Thursday I have day surgery for a sentinel node biopsy of my lymph nodes. If those are clear of cancer I can have reconstruction done on the day of my bil-lateral surgery, November 15th. If not, I'll have only the regular surgery and after I heal chemo, then reconstruction at a later date.
Thanks again.
