Feeling Accomplished!!

MHerzberg

Today I feel so accomplished! I took a shower without having to hold my boob the whole time, and without my husbands help! The last couple minutes my chest started shaking, so I had to hold it. But it felt great to be able to wash my hair by myself! Sounds silly, but this was huge for me! I even was able to comb my hair and style it by myself! 🤗🙌 One week out of lumpectomy and sentimental node biopsy and I'm feeling like it's getting better!

It felt great! Now I'm paying for it. This evening I've been extremely sore. But still feel accomplished!

Went to the BS for my week follow-up. Went I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Well can't out with the best!!!

Pathology can't back from surgery, 0/2 lymph nodes had any trace of cancer, the margins were completely clear of IDC, by min of 12.8mm, but the DCIS martins were .02mm clear, which he said were still within parameters, but close. So I'm finished on that part.

He did take 2 large pieces. He said that they were from my skin to my chest muscle for what was taken. No wonder it sounds hollow when I scratch it.

So next steps are to meet with radiology oncology and medical oncology to get radiation set up, start hormone therapy and see if they want chemo. Not to excited about the thought of chemo, buy he said it all depends on how aggressive she wants to be.

So good news on the home front today!!
