Hey Brenda, I decided yesterday after speaking with the surgeon that due to this being a rare and agressive cancer with the likelihood of it recurring and turning up in the other breast, to have a double mastectomy. So thats going ahead still on Thursday.
Dr wasnt thrilled with the lump / swelling in my neck so i had a fine needle aspiration biopsy done today. Apparently it was a cluster of tiny nodes ( largest being 4mm) and as a side discovery, i also have some nodules on my thyroid. He didnt feel they threw up any red flags but said that i need to have the pathology confirmation before resting easy. I guess they'll let me know as i go in for surgery on thursday. Fingers crossed its just annoyed from my cold. Dont think i can handle any more "unexpected" news.
