Well have the date of my surgery

it will be on October 3rd. I am scared, but I am happy to finally have the day!!!.

I go first to the mammogram dept. and they insert a wire under local anesthesia, then I go into surgery and have sedation etc. and they will do the lumpectomy. I guess while I am still in there, they do a quick check to see if they have clear margins, however, the actual pathology takes about a week. If all goes well, then I will start radiation around the 24th of Oct. for 6weeks, so I will be done before December.

You definitely have my prayers and good thoughts as you head towards surgery and the beginning of your radiation treatments. Of course it is scary but just think positive and Keep Smiling!
