I saw my surgeon yesterday and got my pathology report. He says I'm healing wonderfully and will recover comletely. The pathology report shows that the tumor in the left breast (invasive labular carcinoma) was larger than hoped at 2.3 cm, so I will probably have chemo. Monday morning I see my oncologist, Dr Wilks to discuss where we go from here.
The good news is they took 2 lymph nodes from each side and they are clean. They also got clean margins on the tumor. The patholgy confirmed LCIS in both breasts and a very small ammount (.5 cm) of DCIS in the right breast.
When I read that it felt like a bullet shot past my head. DCIS is much more aggressive and dangerous than LCIS. Having the double mastectomy was absolutely the right decision.
Today I saw my plastic surgeon and she removed the last of my drains (yay). She inflated my temporary implants a little more. I'm super grateful to have John go with me to all these appointments and generally take wonderful care of me.
And thanks to all of you for your love and support.
