Went to the doctor yesterday to get bandage off and look for the first time.
I was so scared for the tape to be pulled off. Band aides blister my skin, and at times pull my skin off. So I was very afraid. The area under my arms is so sore already. Well Susie (nurse) was wonderful. She was so gentle. Dr Howard took out the drain tubes (not too bad). Guess I had not even thought of pulling them out. They did feel painful under my arms when he pulled them out of my chest.
I think the worst pain was when Dr Howard said the pathology report does show micrometastees (spelling??). Then the words treatment and chemo. All my records and reports are being sent to Dr. Nakka at the Lakeland Regional Cancer Center. They will be calling to set up my initial visit.
Randy and I were stunned to say the least. He is my rock. I am so blessed with the most wonderful caring husband in my life.
So we begin the second battle.
Losing some of the water/puffy ankles. Yeah!!
Been reading a little about micrometastases - too confusing for us. We'll just wait to talk with Dr Nakka about the next steps to take.
