Well, the big B (boob) day has been scheduled. I will be going in for surgery on March 16th. They haven't given me a specific time yet because they have to schedule my nuclear medicine appointment firtst... yuu heard me right, I said nuclear medicine. I know my doctors and I are trying to hit this breast cancer with everything we have, but a nuclear bomb in my boob...really? Really?
No, not really! But doesn't it sound like I am having some sort of top secret spy mission on my boob? I will fully admit that we did watch the movie, Cars 2, tonight with Little O. I may just be thinking that I am Finn McMissile or Holey Shiftwell (they were secret spies for England. Oh, just watch the moviel It is a pretty cool movie!. I will have a nuclear medicine appointment so that the doctor can inject some nuclear stuff into my boob cancer spot so they can determine which of my lymph nodes is the first, or sentinel, lymph node. The dye will drain from the cancer into the sentinel lymph node and then the doctor will remove only that lymph node to have pathology test it to determine if the cancer has spread. Awesome.
The surgery should take around 4 hours. I will have one boob taken off and then the next. But, then the real magic begins...new boobs here I come!!!
