Hello Sisters, with one hand, i will tell you the short version....lump went well! my surgeon was confident they got clean margins around it. She took out the sentinel node and the next one up, and they looked clean too, but no 100% until the path lab comes back with the report on Friday.&nb...

Well, isn't that great, Peggie! I'm SO glad things went well for you this time. Hope the path report comes back good, and you'll be on your way to radiation and tamoxifen and great health! PJH

Yes! I am so glad to hear from you, Trace!

I am still mending, hurts like hell, and it aint over...so, I am going to continue to blog about the recovery, and radiation, what tamoxifen is like, scars? no scars?

but i only have my index finger on my left arm helping me right now.

so i will write more later.

there is serious pain in my armpit, and very tender and swollen. i dont have a fever, so no infection. sometimes it feels like hot liquid is tricklin down my arm, but there's nothng there.

other times it's like an arrow shoots from my nipple to my armpit, lightning fast! Yeow! Peew----peew---peew...like that!

I am trying to take very limited amounts of meds, because they make you...well...it's really hard to go...you know...go! so I had some prunes...prunr juice...cod liver oil...

now it is like a contests against time...how long will it take for peg to go?... maybe one day more? half a day? three days?

will i just pop?

ugh. But I am sooooo happy to be 95% sure that I am going to be a-okay. But there is still lots to do ahead.

hugs and love and moving my arm little by little on day 4.

Love Peg.
