No news yet. They said most likely Friday, but hope to have it no later than Monday when I go in for Herceptin. That way Onc can start if need be. But there will be no need for that. I did take my bandage off today.and was very surprised to see a 2 1/2 in incision. I would have thougt it would have been smaller for such a tiny cluster. Oh well, I will just add the scar to my new Frankenstien look. 1 1/2 years ago I had no scars on my torso. Now I'm up to eight!! I wonder how many more I can rack up.

I am glad you are having the nasty little calcs removed. I hope all is negative, and I think it's a gopd thing to have them out. I had calcifications for years before diagnosis and doctors told me not to worry about them. I ever have calcification again, I am going to nag my doctors to take the little troublemakers out.
