Its B9! It turned out to be a fibroid. I do think I will talk to the ps and have it removed next week when I have my recon done.
Hi Cheryl, I have been around, but was enjoying a great summer with my kids and NO treatments. Hope all is well with you also.
thanks again everyone for your prayers!
Laurie

Wahooo!!! Great news Laurie. I am very happy for you. Are you using Dr. Ruebeck for your reconstruction? I am finished with all of mine and really thought he did a great job. It was about a nine month process from beginning to end though. I think you were about two weeks ahead of me on treatments. I had my last herceptin June 1 and I agree, it was very nice to have a summer without treatments. Now I am nervously approaching my 3 month and praying all is well.
Nice to hear from you again, and congratulations!

Laurie, My radiologist gave me 5 "extra" shallow electron rad treatments along my scar tissue because she said that recurrence often occurs at the scar site and I noticed that when my onc checks my breast, he really concentrates on the scar. Don't mean to sound discouraging, just another one of those things we all need to keep an eye on.

Ora,
I too am getting (had 1 today) 5 rad treatments directly to the incision site. My radiologist calls them "boosts." Four more to go and can't wait to finish as my skin is getting pretty raw.
