It's Saturday and I have to wait another 4 days to find out from my medical oncologist if he suggests chemotherapy before radiation. A little nerve-racking. Just trying to be patient.

I had a follow up appointment the other day with Dr. W's nurse, Mary, while Dr. W. is on vacation. The incision looked fine. I mentioned the numbness and she said that sometimes there is nerve damage from surgery. And to take ibuprofen if needed. I asked her what the size of the tumor was and as she looked up the pathology report found out that it was 2.5 cm (about 1 inch) and 5 lymph nodes were removed! 2 sentinel nodes and 3 additional. That was news. I made another appointment with the surgeon, Dr. W. a week after the oncologist.

Just have to wait and see what treatment I will need. Let's hope for the least amount, yet I definitely do not want the cancer to return.
