Surgery update

I was really groggy when Dr Langer gave me the update after surgery, so I emailed her to find out exactly what happened. I knew she said she removed more than the one lump, but it was all a blur. Dr Langer called me back, left a message and said she removed the lump in the breast that we knew about and did not see anything else in the breast. In the armpit, she found one node that was blue from the dye and three little nodes around it which were not blue. She removed them all, thought they felt fine and sent them off for testing. She expects them to come back negative for more cancer.

I am recovering nicely at home. A little sore and a little tired, but not so bad overall. Follow up appointment is next Friday with Dr Langer, where hopefully we will get results back from what was sent out after surgery.
