Depressed Today

[Guest guest]

I went for my follow up last night. The Dr. took the drain tube out,

thank God. However, when I called to schedule my re-excision, the Dr.

is not available until Jan 13, which is a month away. I just assume

go in today and get this done. It seems silly to completely heal and

then start this process over again. It is like I'm being prolonged

for another month - which in turn is going to set up treats out a

month too. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks, Rose

Hi Rose,

I forgot what your initial surgery results were.

I waited a month between my lumpectomy and mastectomy. The surgeon

didn't seem to think there was a rush because my unclear margins had

DCIS, not IDC.

If your margins were IDC, I'd think they'd want to move faster.

Did you start any treatments before the mastecomy? I just want to

make some progress and chug ahead

Thanks for your response.

I started my treatments after surgery.

I think the general rule of thumb is if it's a small tumor (early stage)

the order is surgery then chemo.

If it's a larger tumor, it's chemo, then surgery.

I don't blame you for being upset. That does seem like an awful long time. I

will keep you in my prayers.
