Surgery Went Well

Hello my BC sisters. Surgery was yesterday and sentinel node biopsy says it's not there!!! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. My doc, of course, is sending all samples out to determine if the next step is chemo or not. While I'm sore, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. No visible bruising yet, drains working fine. Course it was strange to look down and see a flat chest for the first time since I was 11.
I'm out of the hospital, recouping in a hotel until Monday when we head back to the Big Island. I hope to keep up with you gals/guys over the weekend but may be difficult as we are "pirating" off a signal at our hotel.
I'll try to send out an update on how I'm feeling tomorrow. I'll check in with what everyone is saying before I get bumped off. I really like reading how everyone is doing. Take care - God is Good!! Lola

    HI Lola
    Sounds like all went well. My surgeon told me that if the sentinel node was negative for cancer that I would not need chemo so maybe you will luck out...mine however was postive, but the other 21 nodes were negative but chemo is what i am doing.

    REmember to rest and pamper yourself for now so you heal well..eats lots of protein.
