False Alarm

False Alarm

Sadly (and happily) we were not finished with the ultrasound in time to make our time slot in the operating room, this morning.

So, we go in again tomorrow.

This is nice, because one week after major surgery, what you really want to do is be shuttled between different waiting and procedure rooms.
It's super-fun.

During today's ultrasound, the radiologist could not find a tumor. But, she "thinks" that she found the clip, which is the little bit of metal they put in to mark the tumor for last week's surgery. If the clip is, indeed, there, then the tumor may still be there. Thus, the one removed during the mastectomy may have been a second one. So, just to be safe, they are going to take "a bit more."

My plastic surgeon said, and I quote: "with all of the pain that you're in right now, the discomfort from this surgery may even go unnoticed."

Yeah. We'll see.
