I guess it is time for an update.
Surgically, the incisions appear to be healing without complication. The drains are doing their thing and are likely to be out next week.
Pathology officially came back AND MY SENTINEL NODES WERE CLEAR! Yes, my oncologist is going to take a big sigh when I tell her that I don’t want to do chemo (AC) and I’m not entirely sure exactly how we proceed from there. Could there be a cell leftover? Yes? Do I want to do a course of gnarly chemo that will give me permanent peripheral neuropathy, unending nausea/vomiting for months, and possibly put me in heart failure? No..not if I don’t HAVE to. 50/50 coin toss. Same decision I made last time.
I’m in considerable pain from what I’m guessing is the actual drains shifting under my skin. I feel like I’ve rolled in poison ivy from all the tape/adhesive that was put on me when it was never supposed to have been near me. I sleep quite a bit. Exciting stuff.
