We are going nuts! her surgery was supposed to be at 10 and my brother called and said they didnt take her to surgery til after 1.GRR! She could have been in recovery by now! The wait and not knowing is terrible! We will be fine its just stressful and irritating. They have been wishy washy since she got diagnosed in sept. We are worried about her having all this done at once anyway. They are removing her left breast, reconstructing it at the same time, doing a reduction on the other breast and mending a previous scar from yrs ago.

I can't imagine a good dr doing a rush job. I would have your brother ask why it was so short or else have your Mom do it tomorrow. I had 23 nodes removed and 1 was cancerous. Its possible the nodes looked swollen or something and the dr felt it was better to take them out and have them checked.

She will have drains and the drains are attached to a little bottle and the fluid goes in there and is measured before its emptied. There is a Stage IV breast cancer but if you aren't sure what they were referring to when they mention 4, then it could have been that the size was 4cm.

I know its hard but try not to think the worst. The fear of the unkown can drive us nuts. Hang in there and keep us posted. You are all in my prayers.

Ok I'm a little confused and worried now more than ever! My brother said mom didnt get into surgery til 1pm. He just called and said they were pretty much done with moms surgery and she was fine so far. What worries me is even though everything went fine supposedly, they did take out 3 lymph nodes that wasnt planned on top of the other issues I mentioned earlier. We were originally told the surgery would be at least 4-5 hrs if not longer they are already done. Is that normal? It makes us fear they did a rush job or something. He said she should be in recovery about 5 cst. He said she has several drains, some kind of bag and something else. I guess thats part of it. Since they didnt mention anything before now about any issues with lymph nodes, does that mean her cancer was worse than they originally thought? Did they find more than planned? Am I freaking for nothing? Last nite she mentioned something about being almost a 4 not sure if that was a stage or size. Any suggestions?
