Thank you for all of the prayers and good thoughts. My bi-lateral mastectomy was completed on 2/24! It took 5 hours and I spent the night in the hospital. I can't wait to get these tubes out! Surgeon called last night and said they got everything. Only the sentinal node had cancer cells. Woo Hoo! So, I'm at Stage 2 IDC. Tumor ended up being 2.5 cm.

It feels good to have finally done something to get rid of the cancer. I see my oncologist again next week. Need a port put in and an echo before the chemo can get started.

    Surgery...
    ... for many (not all) of us is a huge first step. Good to have it behind you, with a plan in front.

    Take very good care of yourself. Best wishes for healing and continued recovery from surgery.

    Kind regards, Susan
