I met with the surgeon today, and set a date for surgery for Wednesday 2/24. It should be day surgery, and who knows, I may be back to work on Thursday (?!). I have decided on a lumpectomy because the rate of tumor recurrence is exactly the same for mastectomy as lumpectomy. So there really is no advantage to the more invasive surgery.
By Friday, my Coumadin level (blood thinner) had been set (at least for now), and I stopped giving myself the Lovenox shots. My midriff is sprinkled with little purple bruises from the Lovenox shots. Just one more way to a beautiful body through cancer treatment.
