@queensfaith, how is your mom doing? What treatments will she be getting?
@cogardner, I would definitely be glad that the cancer was found early. What treatment options have been suggested after lumpectomy?
@blessedx6, thinking of you as you prepare for surgery tomorrow and look foward to hearing from you when you're able.

Thank you. I will be in surgery at 10:00 AM today. I will be glad when surgery is over. God is in control. 🙏🏻
OR for breast lumpectomy went well today.At home now. Wanted to sleep in my own bed tonight. Just feel like I have jet lag. Pain med still working. Had some dizziness and hypotension in PACU from the anesthesia but resolved fairly quickly. 😁 thanks for your support. 🤗

Met with the oncologist over hormone therapy yesterday. He is very optimistic and thinks a 5 year regime of tamoxifen and every six months of a mammogram and ultra sound will be enough. He says my body is raising a white flag we need to watch. I meet with the radiation oncologist tomorrow. We’ll see if dr #1 is correct that he doesn’t think my reports say I need radiation. I felt a lot of relief after my appointment yesterday.
