So sweet of you to check in. I am doing ok, seem to be recovering from re-excision. Still sore and wearing compression bra, and icing with occasional ibuprofen. I will resume some longer walks and hikes this week and then asking my surgeon what I can do at gym (working out, even if light and little bits, drastically improves my mood and outlook) . This weekend we went to visit our daughter in college and for 2 days life felt a tad normal.

I am awaiting the results of the labs from re-excision to see if margins were clear and hoping so. If these are clear I then await Oncotype and also an Ambry genetics blood test that did to determine next steps. if no chemo the plan will be radiation for approx 4 weeks, seems to be the norm?

My sleeping has been terrible, hot flashes/night sweats...really since late December when I went off HRT. Will this aspect ever subside? Ive started occasionally taking advil pm but just trudge on thru really. After these surgeries, though, I suddenly have back pain while sleeping? It's so strange, but maybe bc I was a stomach sleeper and just not used to it?
Any advice welcome!!!
