Last appt with my plastic surgeon this year. He injected 60cc of saline and took the drainage out. I thought it would be painful to take it out, but it wasn't. I'll see him after I'm completely done with follow-up treatments.
I also went to see my general surgeon. First appt after surgery. My incisions are healing well. He referred me to the oncologist. This will be the next challenge. According to my own research, chemotherapy would be the standard treatment in my case. My work will be busy for next 3 and half months. Many chemo patients work throughout the treatments to keep things as normal as possible. I know that's what I'm going to do. I won't know for sure what my oncologist recommends until I see him next Friday, but I'm ready.
Both my general surgeon and plastic surgeon had good smile on their faces when they saw me. They were more serious before surgery, of course. They didn't make any jokes. They were more humanlike than just doctors today because we knew that our first step to beat this disease was successful.
