I received a card from my friend, Whitney, a young , beautiful and strong breast cancer survivor. She signed it, "Your breast buddy." Too cute not to pass along (and steal) and I know she won't mind.
The surgeon called yesterday to check on me. 6 of the 9 lymph nodes removed had cancer. She said (as she told Kevin when I was in recovery) that because of the way the cancer is acting and because it is so aggressive she would recommend a bi-lateral mastectomy regardless of the BRAC Analysis results. We are totally on board with that. Prevent, prevent, prevent reoccurrence. The BRAC results did come back negative so I am not a carrier of the mutant cancer cell. (YEA!!) Hopefully, I can get this drain out Monday but we have to wait until less than 30ML is draining per day. Now I am getting 30 about two or three times a day but Monday is a long way off so keep your fingers crossed. This drain sucks! (Pun intended!)
I can't say enough how grateful I am for the breast support team!
Love to all!
