Thursday is the big day... Surgery Day! I will be having a lumpectomy to take out the scar tissue that is remaining from chemo. The surgeon is also going to take a lymph node out to test and see if any cancer has gotten past the lump that was present. He does not expect to have any of it come back as cancerous. (keep your fingers crossed) When the MRI and 3-D mammogram reports came back, my surgeon referred to them as "boring"! That is a good thing, because it showed that the chemo did its job!
I also met with the Radiation Oncologist last week. I will be having radiation - between 30-36 treatments total - starting either the first or second week in January. If all goes according to plan, I will be done with everything by the end of February!
Its been a month since my last chemo treatment, but my hair has still not started to grow back. I've read that it should start growing back around 4-6 weeks after your last treatment. Hopefully it will start happening soon!
But the best part of all is that very soon I will be able to say that I am truly a SURVIVOR and that I am CANCER FREE!
