My sister's lumpectomy

is scheduled for Oct. 14. She has the same surgeon as I do. She met with radiologist/oncologist yesterday and the surgeon will remove the cancerous tissue and insert a temporary rads device. A couple days later she'll get the pathology report and then the surgeon will insert the actual rads device. Then she will get rads for 5 days twice a day. Then the surgeon will remove the device. She didn't say if she will have to take any pill form again since she's a 9 year survivor and took Tamoxifen for 5 years. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
