hey now! so today was meeting with the surgeon. for those of you who havent read all the posts, my wife got breast cancer, (also you should all read the old posts jerks!) and the prognoses is actually pretty good. heres her post of what happened.
ok, so I got my MRI results and met with my surgeon
she thinks i am probably at stage 2, because it looks to be about 2 Centimeters
but, that sometimes MRI’s make them look bigger than they are, so it’s possible i am only stage 1, but she won’t know until after surgery.
having my lumpectomy next Monday (5/5), at 2pm – she is going to take the lump, the skin over the lump and a little muscle underneath just to be sure she gets it all.
While I am under, the will test my underarm lymphs. If they show the cancer has spread, she will have to remove more of them, but if not then she won’t.
If she get’s in there, and it seems bigger than the MRI showed, then I will meet with her, and possibly have another surgery for a mastectomy. BUT I HOPE NOT!
After surgery i will meet with my oncologist. My surgeon thinks i will probably need to do chemo because of the size, and also the fact that so many of my family members have had cancer.
I’ll do chemo after for 4 to 6 months, and then radiation after that.
I’ll keep ya posted!!
Love and Hugs!
