Hi Kevin.
Welcome. You're doing the right thing. It takes a long time to absorb all this knowledge. If you randomly look at the internet, you see scary things that may not apply. Pre-surgery was the worst for me, thinking I was doomed. It gets better.
I had my own surgery delay. I was in the hospital, prepped and ready to go and they realized they didn't have the nuclear medicine to do the sentinel node biopsy. Changed hospitals after that.
Will you be doing sentinel node? Not to scare you, but the tumor size can be different from what the docs expect.
Best of luck. It's a tough road, but you will do it. No reason to think you'll not live happily ever after at this point. BB
