Ugh well not so great news

Ugh well not so great news but not awful either, my surgeon informed me today that my margins were not clear on two places on my lip.  One close to surface and one inside my lip.  She will be talking with the rest of my team tonight at the tumor board meeting and is hoping my rad onc thinks he can kill the rest with the 36 radiation treatments I will be having.  As far as my PET, my husband who wrote down the info when I was still loopy from my surgery last week, got the date wrong lol I have the PET next Tuesday, on the 30th.  Nice way to spend my B-day lol but hey at least I am here and celebrating another B-day:)  They are holding off on giving me my complete treatment plan, told me to prepare for chemo again as well due to them being as sure as they can be before my lung biopsy that the noduels are cancer.  I won't have the lung biopsy until after I have the PET.

They seem to think that back in Aug when I was diagnosed with bilateral IDC, with a fully metastic node, that it was already in my lungs all be it microscopicly (sp?) that's why it didn't show on my CT/PET I had right after my bilat mastectomy in Sept.  

So for now I don't have to go back until Monday and at least then I can get these stiches out and EAT lol.   I have been making a list of everything I am going to eat.  On the bright side I have lost 6 pounds this past week and am only now 10 pounds away from my ideal weight!  There always has to be a bright side, right?  Ginny you have to go from FL to NY?  Oh my goodness!  I hope your check up went well and everything is fine:)  Thanks for you thoughts everyone!

Praying for you and sending lots of hugs too!
