This is very helpful to me more than you will ever know. We have to travel about 6 hours to the hospital. Would you have any questions to suggest what I should ask?? 😔

Thinking of you today, Rose.
Thinking of you, Rose. How was your appointment yesterday (Monday)?

I was prepared with the following questions.
1. Please explain the plan for surgery based on my diagnosis.
2. I was going to ask my surgeon if she planned to remove lymph nodes because I was worried about the edema that can occur. Before I asked my question my surgeon explained that she planned to sample sentinel nodes, This is a relatively new procedure so ask your surgeon how they plan to sample the lymph nodes.
3. When will I know the results (cancer stage) from my surgery? Your tissue will be sent to pathology where the pathologist will carefully examine and do other tests which can take a few days.
4. How long will I have to stay in the hospital? Can I have visitors (good question to ask during this pandemic)?
These are just few questions that I hope will be helpful to you.
Blessings,
Helen
