Hi ladies. Wanted to update you on my surgery. It went really well and they were able to do the bilateral mastectomy and place the expanders for reconstruction at the same time. They removed the 2 closest lymph nodes and checked them during surgery and they were CLEAR!! They still sent them off to pathology to be checked again. But so far so good. I haven't been able to see anything as I m still wrapped in an ace bandage. My plastic surgeon said she was able to fill the expanders with 200cc of saline so at least I have something there. I'll be in the hospital til Sat morning. Thank you so much for all the thoughts & prayers, they're definitely helping!!
