Well, I got through surgery yesterday and am home now. I’m feeling pretty good, no real pain to speak of. I’m still pretty drugged, not too sure how much sense I’m actually making. I did end up losing the lymph nodes- I guess they were involved. Now I’ve got a plastic grenade-shaped container hooked up to a tube going into my side that’s draining off the lymph fluids and blood from the surgery. I don’t know a whole lot at the moment, and I keep seeming to forget what I do know! I’m sure my mind will be clearer tomorrow, and I should have the full results back from the surgery at the beginning of next week.
And now, perhaps another movie!

I’ve got a lot of friends and family that would like to stay abreast (hehe… abreast, breast cancer…. ok, so maybe it’s not really that funny) of what’s going on in my cancer treatment. I’ll try to write out what’s going on as I get through this - I can go into a lot more detail here than I can on the phone or chatting. Perhaps there is someone else out there that’s going through this too- it’s always good to know that you aren’t alone when going through this type of thing.
The blog itself is pretty quick and dirty- a generic template. Perhaps I’ll get around to customizing it a bit- if not, well, it will still do!

Well, my cancer surgery is tomorrow. It’s already been an interesting journey- a lot of waiting for answers and anticipation. It all started about four months ago- Dahlia found something unusual about my chest- an area directly underneath the nipple that had become firmer than normal and the nipple was somewhat flattened. Nothing tremendously noticeable, but unusual. I discounted it somewhat, but Dahlia was worried, so after a little while I made an appointment to find out what it was.
