We have a date for the surgery – Friday, 25 April. We wanted to do it sooner, but it looks
like we have to wait another 10 days.
We told them we are ready for earlier if something opens up on the
schedule.
We met with the plastic surgeon today and heard all the
options for post-surgery. There
are quite a few options and they all stink. We are planning on a mastectomy and she will probably do a
breast reconstruction. It takes
several weeks.
We won’t meet with the oncologist for another few
weeks. After the surgery, they
depend quite a bit on the pathology from the lump, so we’ll meet the oncologist
after they hear back on the results.
We’re trying to be positive and full of faith, but the
reality is much more difficult. We
appreciate all the love and support of family and friends. THANK YOU.
