Well,...
I go into surgery on Wednesday morning at 11:00 for a total mastectomy/skin sparing procedure. This is my only option at this point as the MRI showed other spots in my right breast that could be cancerous, because of that a lumpectomy is not an option. My left breast was clear, so that is good news. They are going to do a procedure called a sentinal to take some lymph nodes and test them for the cancer. The MRI showed that there is one node that they are concerned about as it looks a little differently than it should. Tomorrow I have to go in for blood work and a chest x-ray. My surgeon said again that I will have to go through chemotherapy because of my age, he also said that they may also do localized radiation to the area. Until then, I'll keep you posted....
