Surgery, I am told, went well. She is in the recovery room now. I should be able to see her again in about 15 minutes.

Now healing begins.

Surgery (DMX) and reconstruction scheduled for May 6.

It's no longer "a lot of waiting." Now it's a lot of worrying.

Double checking the initial biopsy site and evaluating a second site on the opposite side.

Appointment with the plastic surgeon next week.

First meeting with the surgical oncologist. Early information seems to suggest that oncotype will not require radiation. Ordered an ultrasound.

No surgery date set yet.

Diagnostic only. We meet with the surgical oncologist next week.

So far cancer is mostly just waiting.

Best lines to date:

• "I'll keep you abreast of the situation as it develops."
• "If I have anything to get off my chest, I'll let you know."

Enjoy responsibly.
