Lumpectomy #2

So, yesterday I had what hopefully is not becoming my "annual lumpectomy." I found another mass in July, same side as before, same area almost. Well, after meeting with my new favorite breast specialist, we decided to get this mass removed as well.

The surgery yesterday went well. Dr. Hazzard said that she believes the mass was actually a cyst that was probably caused from my previous lumpectomy last September. The cyst had a thick milky inside which was probably due to the fact that I was nursing Talon when I had the first lumpectomy. She also said that there was some fibroid adenoma tissue around there and got that out too. Of course, everything was sent to the lab to be biopsied, but we don't feel that there will be any scare of cancer, which of course is the most positive side of the whole thing.

Thanks to all you who have offered prayers in our behalf and have offered to help out during the recovering next couple of weeks.

    I am so glad it went well. I remember how nerve-racking that whole experience was. Let me know what else I can do to help...grocery shopping, meals, distraction, etc! And you looked fabulous on Saturday, by the way...what a woman!

    Lots of love!
