We go in on Tuesday for pre-op testing and had to stop in at the surgeon's office for the paperwork. They told us the Dr. wanted to see me. UHHHHHHH....sinking feeling setting in...
We are sitting in the little room and the Dr. came in rather quickly. He said, "I know that you have already heard the GOOD NEWS about the other sites that were biopsied. I believe we can do surgery next Monday (more waiting) and we will only do a lumpectomy and remove the sentinel node. A LUMPECTOMY?!?!?
Doc...how do I go from having a Radical Bi-Lateral Mastectomy to a Lumpectomy? He said, "Well when we got the results from your MRI and saw the "other suspicious sites" we had to be prepared for the worst. We had to prepare you for the worst. Fortunately we are able to perform the best surgery in this circumstance."
WOW. What more can I say? The past two day truly were the BEST days we have had in two months. Sighs of relief...............
