Surgery results

I went to the surgeon today to get my drains out. Dr. Nielsen said that my cancer is at stage two because only two of my lymph nodes had cancer in them. So that is really good news. He also said that he doesn't think that I'll need radiation after chemotherapy because only two nodes had it. My appointment with Dr. Ghosh is next week to go over his plan for chemotherapy. Dr. Nielsen said that I should be able to get reconstruction in about six months. This is all really good news because that means that I can go to North Carolina sooner and be with Ed. Its going to be hard going through chemo without him, but I have my family and friends so I know I'll be okay.
