Hi again Lisa,
Because you said the node was enlarged, I assumed you had node involvement but that may not be the case. For me they sent the tumor tissue to the pathologist during the surgery. Sentinel node came back neg so no further surgery was needed. If it had been positive they would have gone back and taken more lymph nodes. If your nodes are positive they would do rads on them. Your doc won't have the full picture until the actual surgery.
I wouldn't worry about the port yet. It's easy and you have time to make these decisions later down the road. I know your just trying to get all your ducks in a row. Set up your appointments with 2 or 3 oncs now for later in Dec and go from there. It should be after Dec 8th as I don't think complete path will be back sooner.
Try not to worry too much. I've never heard of anyone that hasn't sailed thru surgery It hurts and you're tired. One day at a time. BB
