Thanks appreciate the reply. Yes, booked in for the hook wire first up that morning and the radioactive injection as well. They said their doing the blue due once asleep. I had a lumpectomy last year and that took just under an hour, but no node biopsy that time. I figured it may be longer with the additional procedure. In overnight, hopefully recover us way way better than last year. Yes it will be, I'm praying and believing for that. Last year couldn't talk for 5 days, and was crouoy wheezy after the tubes during surgery upset the airways. This time their aware so believing for it to be better. The surgery site recovered quite well, but ended up quite ill with mastitis, so will be happy to bypass. Those 2 complications this time around, lol. ??
