surgery

Mission Trails Jan. 14th, 2012

This is a little update. Apparently there was a miscommunication between my general surgeon's nurse and my plastic surgeon's nurse. I will be having a lymphectomy along with the bilateral mastectomy. He will be removing 3 to 5 lymph nodes. Oh joy and I thought I was going to escape. I guess better safe than sorry. In this case sorry could be the death of me. So take those lymph nodes! Radiation is still up in the air. Surgery is next wednesday and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared. Truthfully it's just the pain I'm afraid of...go figure. I have total faith in my team. "Just another bump in the road" (I gotta start using map quest.)

My hope is to be back to work by the middle of March. I know it seems hard to believe but I really do miss work. I get alot of joy from it.
