I finally have a date for surgery. I will have my pre-op appointment on the 24th at which time I will meet my anesthesiologist and have some routine tests (EKG, etc.) I go back on the 30th to receive an injection that will enable sentinel node mapping. I have to be back on the 31st at 5:15 a.m. to get prepped for surgery at 7:15. I'm glad to be his first surgery of the day.
Dr. Kiluk estimates my recovery to last from 2-4 weeks as long as the sentinel nodes are negative. If they are positive then chemo therapy will become part of the plan.
I'm relieved to have the dates scheduled and only wish I could get it over with sooner. I'm tired of being tired and ready to feel well.
I know I'll be okay. No worries, this too shall pass. Thank you for your continued prayers for abundant energy!
Terri
