Yay! Here’s hoping Lumpectomy Lite does everything it’s supposed to, and then some! And I saw a bumper sticker the other day and thought of you – superimposed over the obligatory pink ribbon was, “SAVE THE TA-TAS!” 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Typo Knig] **ivylass** , take my advice (I’m not using it! [sup]1[/sup]) - work will always be there. Your health may not be. If the doctor wants to do the procedure next week, do the damn procedure. Don’t give those little bastard undifferentiated cells a chance! Then you can wrestle with work for years to come. [sup]1[/sup]Stolen from another SDMB [thread=447301]thread[/thread], see post # 3. [/QUOTE] Seconded! Take care of you first, everything else has to come after that! Glad to hear the good news, though, and will say more prayers for your next surgery! ---

That’s fantastic! Best of luck, although you’ve proved you don’t need it! ---

Such good news! And don’t push make the Lumpectomy Lite…they can’t appreciate you if you don’t let things fall apart on them once in a while to remind them! Could you explain the difference between pre-cancerous, and becoming cancerous? ---

Ivylad was most displeased with my decision to push back my surgery. I think I’ll call the doctor’s office and tell them I’ll keep the original surgery date after all. Sigh. **kittenblue** , I’m not sure what the difference is. The one they thought was pre-cancerous is called an Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia, the one that was cancerous is an Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I’m assuming there’s all sorts of medical technology that can determine when abnormal cells are about to get even more abnormal. ---

Yay for the good news! And yay for keeping the original schedule. Crossing appropriate (and inappropriate ;)) appendages that the mini-lumpectomy goes smoothly, too. ---

The area where the lymph nodes were removed is the most achy. It’s not red, but there’s a swelling under the skin near the incision. I’ll ask the surgeon about it when I see him next week. ---
