Surgery Has Been Scheduled

Well, after a lot of time and thought and more appointments with my surgeon my surgery date has been made.  January 4th, 2018.  I was really struggling with the decision of lumpectomy or mastectomy and the possibility of radiation with either.  But after consults with my doctors we have decided on a lumpectomy with radiation.

In all honesty, I was fine putting of the decision because I am scared.  I am scared of the surgery.  I am scared that the surgeon won't remove enough tissue and he will have to go back.  I am scared that my lymph nodes have been infected.  I am scared of the recovery.  I am just scared.  So putting the decision off was easy for me.  But I do feel a little better having made a decision and having set a date.

In other news, Atleigh has been sick.  Tristan has something going on, not sure what.  But he is schedule for a tonsillectomy in January, and I have a sinus infection.

Today I am getting my second round of maintenance treatment and just found out that my white count is extremely low and my oncologist wants me to get some shots and if my counts don't come up then my surgery will be postponed.  Hopefully the shots will work!!!
