Part 7

I had a vist with Dr. Chow today on Nov. 10 she was very please on how the tumor had gotten smaller. She was planting the seed for surgery. She wanted me to stay on the Tamoxifen for at least another month to see if it would get any smaller. I was to go back to her in Dec. on the 9th. That afternoon went to go see Dr. Oommen and he was still please at the results so we didn't have to hang around there very long.

On Dec. 8th went back to Dr. Oommen and I let him know that I didn't think it had gotten any smaller and lymph nodes were more noticeable. Did didn't think so but he assure us that it is just going to take time. The Tamoxifen is a slow results. My next time to see him will be Jan. 4th.

On Dec. 9th went to go see Dr. Chow. She check me out and she also said, she didn't think there was much different in the size from Nov. Then we started talking about surgery and what was going to be done. I am going to have a Modified Radical Mastectomy on the right side and she will be removing all the lymph nodes under the right arm. Then we talk about the left side do we take it or do we keep it. She thinks it will be good to take it since I already had trouble with it in the past. So on the left side she well do a Simple Mastectomy. Now it is just wait and see when the surgery is. She said that within the next week her nurse would be calling me and letting me know when it was.
