Update from surgeon and the next plan.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I went back to Dr. Brown last Thursday the 26th. He was very pleased with the way my incision was healing. He said that he took out a little more than "golf ball" size tissue, and that there were actually two spots of cancer removed. Sure hope he's confident that he got it! He certainly seemed confident. He now has referred me to Dr. Myers, who is a radiologist at Thomas Cancer Center. I will see him this Thursday and to Dr. Ibach ( not sure on that spelling) the oncologist, who I will see on Friday. So now it's another week of
"let's wait and see". Dr. Brown says he thinks I will have a total of 33 radiation treatments, but I guess I will know the real answer after I see Dr. Myers. And the rest of the story will come after I see the oncologists. It seems that every thing I see now is about Cancer. Today while at the grocery store the LEAN CU SINE box was pink for cancer, the news paper had a whole article about a lady with the same DCIS cancer and over the weekend I found a piece of jewelry in Maggies jewelry box that was a gold circle with the pink ribbon, and I never ever saw her wear it, nor had I seen it in there before. I guess she was trying to tell me something. That's just how she would do it too. Tomorrow I am going back to work. I worked on Friday, but teaching a class. I am ready to go back, but I have some anxiety, and I'm not sure just why. Just keep praying for me.... It's working!
