Such a scary learning curve

@"Kiwi Angel" As afraser says, what-ifs can drive you crazy. Unfortunately, we can't go back in time and have to deal with what is.  She's also right in that surgery is relatively easy.  I had a wide excision and sentinel node biopsy just before Christmas and was back in after New Year for mastectomy and axillary dissection.  That was hard getting the call to say I had to have more surgery but the outcome was manageable.  I've now started chemo and will have radiation after, then probably hormone therapy.  One step at a time and trust your team (and if you don't trust your team, think about a second opinion).
