Hi, Donna. Actually, I'm feeling pretty low about now. I had my lymph node biopsy last Thursday (a week ago). The good news is that I heard back that they were all "clear," meaning that the cancer has not spread to any nodes. The bad news is that I now have a big knot/bump the size & consistency of a golf ball underneath my skin at the end of one of my armpit incisions. It is SO, SO painful I'm just on edge right now. I called my surgeon's office & found out that they're all at a breast conference until next Tuesday. So my surgeon has arranged for me to go to another place to have it locally-anesthesized & drained tomorrow early afternoon. In the meantime, I cannot put my arm down next to my side. Did I mention that it's extremely painful?!?! Anyway, I'm starting to feel like the "Queen of Pain." Sorry I couldn't report better news! I just broke down & took a pain pill....
Thank you for asking, Donna!
