All Booked In

I'm all set for more surgery next Wednesday. I'll be having a wire inserted under mammogram before surgery. Sounds awful! Apparently not as squishy as a mammogram but they haven't been able to find the marker clip under ultrasound so this is what we have to do. 

My very brilliant surgeon says she'll go in through the original scar, take out the tissue above it and then lift the breast slightly when she rejoins the scar. Still a bit of wiggle room because I'm lucky enough to have developed cancer in my slightly larger breast and even after the first surgery in January it remains slightly larger. 

My surgeon also tells me that it's 'likely' that the calcification is 'exhausted' (dead) cancer cells however there is a possibility that it's active cancer and we can't be sure until the pathology comes back a week after surgery. 

Thanks to everyone for your messages of love and support. X
