First the good news: the pathology from the surgery came back and it showed that there was no cancer in the lymph nodes. Yay!!!!
Now the bad news: the same pathology showed that there are still some cancer cells left in the breast. Booooo! So probably next week, I will have to go back to have another surgery to remove more tissue.
Will advise particular timing.
This surgery was not so bad. I feel pretty good, with some soreness at the surgical site, but not so bad that I've had to resort to pain killers. Probably the worst of the situation is that we have not had power since Thursday night. While we do have a generator that provides us with refrigerator and lights, we have no running water. Since I have to take a bath (so I don't get the surgical site wet), and no one we know has water, I'm getting anxious for a bath. Ray can go to the gym to shower. We're hoping for power to come back soon, but have been told it may be many days til it does. C'est la vie.
