New Diagnosis

Jo, I was thinking of you Thursday when we went into surgery together. It is so confronting to look at your self in the mirror afterwards. The surgeon had to take 4 sentinel nodes, cause I lit up like a Xmas tree on the nuclear med scan, so was shitting my self for many hours prior to the surgery and had a good cry to myself in the anaesthetic room. I found out today that all 4 were clear. And the tumour size was 2cm but I had 8cm of preinvasive all around the breast. So mastectomy was the right choice. And as I sit at home with my drains I feel ok bout it. I wish you all the best with your next step, did they take more lymph nodes? Huge hugs Haylee
