was successful last Friday. I had the lumpectomy. The surgeon decided to put me out for it with general instead of just using "twilight sleep", because she had to do "a lot of digging", as the anesthesiologist put it. I took longer than usual in recovery because my blood oxygen level kept desaturating. There were breathing exercises to do to wake my lungs up again, but I'm still not sure it wasn't the monitor at fault.

I'm very frightened, but am trying not to think about it. Pathology results within the next week. I would have fallen apart by now if Michael was not with me throughout it all. He has been wonderful, caring, compassionate, funny. Always there when I needed him.

And....I'm very grateful for all of your positive thoughts, energy, prayers, and support. Please keep it coming.

I wish you the best

Best Wishes.

hoping the best

that's great to hear!!! i pray things keep going well

I am glad you had Michael to support you through this scary process. It sounds like your doctors and anesthesiologist were paying attention - it could have been the monitor but who knows, better to err on the side of safety. I am glad you are recovering now.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, praying for a speedy recovery. Feel better soon. Take care.

Thanks to all of you who sent positive thoughts, prayers, and good wishes. God Bless.

Prayers for you angel

God Bless & good luck, dear.

There was good news and bad last Thursday. The good news was that the Cancer is DCIS (no one dies from that) and there was no invasion. The bad news was that we did not get clear margins on one of the 4 boundaries and that I must undergo another lumpectomy on the 17th. I am very scared. If the next doesn't go well, I will need a total mastectomy.

i do wish you the best hun...please keep me updated on how you are doing and if you need to talk...i'm always here

I wish you all the best Angel.

Being afraid is O.K. Just don't let your nerves get the best of you. Whatever the outcome, you will be able to handle it. I have been where you are and ...My prayers are with you.

Still sending out those good vibes.
Hope all is still going well.
