Mastectomy post-op?
Hi all~
Had a great check-up with the surgeon (she couldn't feel the lump anymore either!), but I am a little discouraged. She wants to do the mastectomy sooner after the end of chemo than I thought.
My daughter is playing in a National Championship lacrosse tournament out in Denver in July, which I have my heart set on going to (and we have flights booked). She was looking to do the surgery 3 weeks prior to this and immediately after 3 weeks of other travel tournaments we will be attending.
Do you think that 3 weeks out I will be up to traveling? So far, I haven't missed a day of work while on chemo, and was back at work the Monday after my 2 other surgeries (port and sentinel node biopsy).
