Geez, I don't believe I didn't post anything after I had the stent put in, but then I only worked two days last week and this.

New stent is working fine and they only almost killed me twice, once when the doctor said I needed oxygen and the kid proceeded to put it on my nose and couldn't figure out why I was struggling against it (I'm a neck breather) and once when they were trying to get the artery to clot and put too much pressure causing my BP to drop to 60/33 and me almost pass out cold. It's called vegalizing (sp) and I have no clue how dangerous it was. Liquids reversed the problem but dr did indicate it might have been the reason I felt so wiped after this procedure this time.

Results of MRI biospy not good. Hopefully much of it is false positives. Less than 1 cm on right now shows as 7 cm and it also shows possibility of something less than 1 cm in left. HER2 test negative so I am Triple Negative for this disease. Now I know how you folks who don't drink, smoke, and are HPV negative feel.

Surgery is tomorrow the 15th at some unknown hour, lumpectomy on right, surgical biopsy on left. I asked for afternoon because I have a lot of mucous in lungs in the am. So naturally they scheduled it for first thing in morning. Dr.'s nurse was going to try to get it moved but it is hospital policy to do these first thing in the morning regardless of the patients problems. I will be under a local but will be out cold so hopefully they get the oxygen right this time and have a someone who knows how operate a suction machine. If they kill me, I told hubby to 'sue the pants off them' and donate proceeds to various animal funds. I guess I better add OCF to that list.

I plan to take Friday and Monday off also so will try to post next week when I return to office.

Take care,
Eileen
