Another Surgery For Me

[Yorkiegirl]

As most of you know I was dx'd with Breast Cancer last year. I have Stage 3 cancer, I had Modified Radical Mastectomy, my cancer also turned out to be Her2/neu +++, ER-, PR-, it had also spread into 5 of the 16 lymph nodes that were removed. I have went thru all the Chemo and Radiation and am now taking weekly Infusions of Herception . My hair is finally starting to grow back, it's taking it 's own time though. I had a recent Mammogram of my remaining breast on Dec. 29. It showed I had increased micro-calcifications that were starting to cluster , also showed two nodules thought to be cysts (but one never knows) my history is a strange one since my cancer was not detected on Mammogram or Ultra Sound, and showed the same then as it's showing now. I saw my surgeon on Tuesday and he said OK, we will set up another biopsy, I told him specifically I would not do that, I wanted my remaining breast gone so I would not always be in fear. I wanted this the first time BUT the Insurance Co., said it wasn't medically necessary, my surgeon put the request through for it again and it was approved this time. So next Tuesday, January 17, I will be having what they call a Simple Mastectomy. Please keep postive thoughts for me that the Path report comes back good. I just don't know if I could do Chemo all over again, it's only been since August 15, that I finished my Chemo.
