The Tumor Institute in Twin Falls called today and set an appointment for next Monday. Finally, we are moving forward (a little). They will sent paperwork in the mail for me to fill out.
Had my final official visit with the surgeon today. He said that I chose the right surgery because they found 2-3 other cancer spots in the breast. Also, I was predisposed for breast cancer (HER2NU test). If you have breast cancer in your family, sister, mother, grandmother, etc., you probably should have this test. If you are not having regular mammograms, do it. I had never had one...Yes, it is painful (very), but that pain will last for less than 30 minutes vs two surgeries and treatment.
I cannot go back to work for at least another week...and that will depend on what the oncologist says now. The only thing that the surgeon will take care of now is any fluid collection or putting in a port for the chemo.
We may try to go to Utah on Saturday. It depends on the weather and how I feel. My niece, Alyssa, is having a dance recital that she wants me to go to...don't know why because she wouldn't even speak to me when I saw her in September. I am excited to be able to photograph the Brigham City Tabernacle and Temple on the way to or from...
