Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 3,267 Likes: 4 | I had my surgery on Monday, August 20th. Everything went well, 5 hr surgery, EBRT, Pectoral flap. Went home Thursday when drainage tubes were taken out. Dr belives they took out cancer along the surgery line, some may still be there, and waiting for pathology. Next step is radiation and chemo.

glad to hear from you. They must be pretty efficient to do all the surgeries and the EBRT in only 5 hours. I know that you will be taking good care of yourself so will only give a hydration/nutrition reminder. Fingers crossed on the path report.
Wishing you all the best from Ohio.
