Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments and support. I had my lumpectomy last Friday (9/16) and the surgeon told me that there was no cancer in my nodes and that he got all the cancer. Also I got the report on the BRCA gene...... NEGATIVE! So... it seems I have dodged 2 bullets!! Next week I go for my first checkup with my surgeon and there will be lots to talk about. I don't have a "stage" as yet and do have lots of questions. It took me quite a while to come out of the anesthesia (I was intubated) and almost had to spend the night. Thank God my son and wife came for the weekend and were there to help my husband and me out.

One question that I have for you all...... are any of you diabetics? If so, how is the Herceptin, Chemo and Radiation affecting you?

Thanks again for all of your responses. I'll be in touch after my appt. next week.
