healing

Waiting for surgeryIn the end, I was in surgery for 9 hours. It was hard but every day was a little better. And by Sunday night, I was home.7 inches of staplesDr. S doesn't shave his patients before surgery.A shiner that appears to have been caused on the inside.I have no idea why there are staples in my forehead.All three spots were biopsied and then removed. The one at the original site (that has caused the roller coaster we've been on since the summer) was necrotic tissue. So was the new one that had just appeared, not too far away. But the other one, the one nearer to the brain stem that was a bit hard to see from different angles? That one was breast cancer.It's gone now and I have been fitted for a mask and will have cyber knife radiation on May 26.One thing I have come to realize is that all of this is as much of an art as a science. There are no specific directions. But I'm here. I'd better heal well and then make the best of it.If you are reading this post on a site other than Not Just About Cancer (besides Facebook or a feed reader), you are reading stolen content.
