New schedule
Just wanted to update and say that my new surgery date is 1/28 since I will most likely have the bilateral mastectomy (one modified radical and one simple). My med. oncologist, radiation oncologist, naturopath and nurses are all supportive of the choice. So is my husband. Even my son seemed to understand the reasoning. I have an appt. with my surgeon next Friday to convince him I know what I'm doing.
Your advice was so helpful. Thank you.
Celeste
