My lumpectomy was outpatient as well. The mass I had was the size of a walnut and my surgeon took out about the size of a lemon. The surgery and recovery was not too bad but the waiting for the biopsy results was extremely hard.
Are they planning to remove the cancer cells in your left breast? Or do you know yet?
Since you know it has spread to your Lymph nodes, I wonder what treatment they will recommend?
Good luck and positive thoughts coming you way! Keep us posted.

Hello again. Well spoke with breast surgeon yesterday, she wants me to get a whole body Bone scan as well as Chest, abdomen& pelvic scan to make sure no cancer cells have traveled to other organs...once results come back , the medical team will decide what course of action..but she did mention surgery to remove cells in breast & lamps in armpit..she also mentioned radiation & +/- chemo...but need to know for sure if cancer is just localized only in breast & armpit...bone scans will determine course of action.
Oh yeah, she ordered genetic testing as well.
