I had a second surgery Monday, March 19, to remove lymph nodes in right side. Have had lots of help from friends and family. Linda arrived Saturday, March 10, and left Sunday, March 18. Annie arrived Sunday, March 18, and was with me at the hospital on the 19th. Vicki provided transportation from and to the Minneapolis airport for both of them. They just barely made Annie's flight back to San Francisco, thanks to the weather and traffic.
Everyone has been good to call and send flowers and food. Today, the Home Health Nurse is late because of an emergency with another client. I have not stripped the tubes as I am waiting for a professional to do that. Mother will be here at 1:00 p.m.
I can sleep on my left side, which helps me snooze off quite well. Have only the one tube on the right side. That side is more sore than the left side. The right side has been a pain ever since the cancer was diagnosed, with two more spots and then the one lymph node out of four in the right breast tissue. This will mean chemo. Plus radiation, I guess. John Edwards' wife has had a reoccurrence of breast cancer from an episode in 2004. They are going on with the campaign.
See medical oncologist and radiation oncologist next Thursday, March 29. See the surgeon Friday, March 30. Will know more then. Have an email into the nurse case manager about it.
Will get back to the nurse in radiology who wants to be kept informed.
