surgery was at 2:15 yesterday and everything went fine. came out with one drain and it really didnt even hurt all that much. he said he took the tumor and a sizeable area around it and all my lymph nodes. then about 10pm last night i noticed clotted blood in the drain and called it to the attention of the nurse who called the doctor..he came back to look and informed me that we would be going back to surgery for him to reopen the wound, clean it out, cauterize whatever needed to be cauterized, etc. I thought for a second he was kidding. By 11pm last night I was back in the operating room having surgery number two. scary part is we dont even know if he got clear margins yet and wont till tomorrow or friday. it would be awfully cruel to require three surgeries on the same breast wouldnt it? I’d need a total mastectomy if he didnt get clear margins however as of 4pm wednesday i am waiting to find out if i go home tonight or tomorrow. didnt sleep for shit here last night at all but i’ve walked the hall for them a couple of times, etc.
