So my appointment at the City of Hope on Thurs, went as I expected. Dr John Yem stated that "a lumpectomy + radiation treatment = a mastectomy". He explained a few more things in detail re: the lymph nodes and the procedure in the operating room. Did a physical exam and said it looked good, no swelling in the nodes or throat. That they caught it early.
Fast forward to tonight, I need to get you all updated on tomorrow.
I have to be at the hospital, Kaiser, Riverside at 9:30 am, for all the pre-op stuff, the surgery is at 11:00. I don't know how long the post care is, but I will be going home sometime that evening. This is an out-patient surgery.
I hope to get thru this without too much fuss. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. I know they help, if only my peace of mind. Sheila
