Today I saw my specialist and I am in for a Lymph scan tomorrow and then surgery on Wednesday with a hookwire put in just before surgery.
I'm very scared and anxious about it all.
I will be in overnight with a partial mastectomy.
The specialist said that the lymph scan will determine which lymph nodes to remove for testing, even though originally, they thought it was not in the lymph nodes, not sure if that is changed or they are being super careful.
I spoke to the cancer care nurse that rang me and she was amazing, but I have not had any surgery before apart from a knee arthroscopy which was very quick.
I will know the week after what happens after surgery, depending on I guess what the test comes back as and whether it is in my lymph nodes.
It's just so much to even get my head around but I have lots of support, most of the problems are in my own head and I make them worse by my thoughts.
thanks for listening
