Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | Martha & I went to her surgery followup appt today and she got an ALL CLEAR; no nodal involvement; clear margins and no other cancers noted in the removed breast or chest tissue. Her doctor said it's the best possible path report she could have hoped for. So with a big sigh of relief she's off to make her appt with her chemo doc. He did yank her drainage tube out and I thought Martha was going to hit him as she had been told by a "friend" that it wouldn't hurt!! She squealed like a stuck pig but it was short lived. Sounds similar to others' experiences with the Peg.
