Re: Mum's operation is tomorrow

[Guest guest]

I am praying for you and your Mum. Many, many hugs are coming your way, Sue

Mum's operation is tomorrow

My Mum has surgery tomorrow to remove her lump. She tells me that she has to have a needle inserted into the lump and then travel to another hospital to have it removed. I don't know what this is all about? Did anyone have a similar situation.Fingers crossed

I will keep your Mum in my prayers. I have never heard of anyone else having

it done this way.

I had that procedure before my lumpectomy (unfortunately I had to have

a mastectomy the following week as the cancer had spread beyond the

margins they took). They clamp the boob into the x-ray machine, like

for a mammogram, and take a picture, then they insert a wire into the

lump and take another picture to be sure they got the wire in the right

place. Then they tape a Dixie cup over the area to protect it...looks

like Madonna during her pointy bra period! I didn't have to change

hospitals though! The breast is numbed beforehand, so there is no

pain. The hard part is having to stay clamped into that damned machine

for so long while they develop the film, insert the wire and then

develop the second film. What is Mum's name? I'll be sending prayers

and good thoughts her way. Hugs,

by the way, the wire is for location purposes so the surgeon knows what

he/she is supposed to remove.

My Mum's name is Christel.

Thanks for letting me know how/why this procedure is done!
