Re-excision Tomorrow

[skeetur]

Finally, my re-excision is tomorrow. Been waiting 3 weeks for this. Seems like the longest 3 weeks of my life. I am so ready to get this show on the road.

Had first lumpectomy on 12/27. Margins were not clear of DCIS. Pathology found 2 foci of IDC with the largest being .3 cm (3 mm).

My sister (dx w/ ILC stage IIB last January) saw her oncologist today and told him about me and he gave his opinion on how he would treat me. Ovarian supression and an AI instead of tamoxifen due to a maternal grandmother who had both uterine cancer (age 50ish) and later breast cancer. He mentioned a P53 gene (think that is what it is called) that links ovarian cancer and breast cancer but there is no way to test for it yet. So, got some info before I go see my oncologist. Her onc said he would gladly consult with mine. LOL.

Wish me luck!

Heres to clear margins...
