Surgery Date Set

We just got word that the surgery is scheduled for Friday, September 13 at 1:00 p.m.  Yep, that is Friday the 13th!  Let's hope that this 13th is a lucky day and that everything goes well.  I am very grateful for my medical team thus far.  They are very good, caring and took no time to coordinate their schedules so that we can move forward without much delay.  Pre-op appointment is scheduled for September 3rd.

Please keep the good thoughts and prayers coming that the cancer is localized and has not migrated into any of the lymph nodes.  This will be the first of probably three surgeries to come to get rid of the cancer and perform the reconstruction - combined with whatever treatments the oncologist will recommend.  I am gearing up for a long road of recovery but with good spirits and all of you behind me I know I can do this.

Note to self... pray, eat, sleep, exercise, relax.
