My lumpectomy went well. They took 3 lymph nodes. They were NEGATIVE! That is great news! The first days after the surgery I was in some pain and very tired, which is all normal. Because I work in a school, I had the week after my surgery off, which was great for recovering. We had planned on going to visit my cousin in New Hampshire, however she was sick, so we had to cancel that. I did a lot of laying around and doing nothing. It was nice.
I had a follow up appointment with the surgeon this week. I am healing well. I have some pain, but it is mostly muscly pain. She gave me some exercises to do to help that. Later this month I will be meeting with the Oncologist and the Radiation Oncologist to discuss next steps. Because it had not spread to the lymph nodes, and it was so very small – 2mm – the surgeon said it would be considered a stage 1A.
I was talking to a friend about how unusual it was to find it this early and this small. I think that after the follow up mammogram, Alexander whispered into the Doctors ear “hey – why don’t you take a biopsy of this – just in case!” It is very good that they did, because it was so small. It is nice to have an angel looking over me. 😇
