Day 3, August 16

I have made the decision to have Dr Fred Howard as my surgeon. I have requested him to work along side Dr Nakka of the Lakeland Regional Cancer Center for my Medical Oncologist.

I am planning to have bilateral mastectomy done. I will have to stay over night in the hospital. At the time of the surgery he will be looking at lymph nodes for the cancer spreading to other areas of my body. I pray this has not happened.

Suzie (Dr H's nurse) shared it would be much easier to have both done at the same time. She works closely with LCC staff/physicians. Shared I will love them.

I feel a peace after making the decision to have Dr Howard and LRCC be my team for the battle ahead. Many have asked why not Moffitt?  Randy and I would like to be closer to home for my future treatments.
