The mastectomy part is healing well. I cannot do everything (like laundry, cleaning my dishes, taking the garbage out), but I can do a lot (shopping online, demanding from my chair, pointing to what I want others to do). I am back to regular clinic schedule this week, and definitely could do surgery, though I don't have any scheduled yet.
On June 14, 2013 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It had not gone to other places in my body, and now I have completed chemo and mastectomy (followed by mastectomy on normal side). I have been able to work continuously, with the enormous and unending support of my patients, my staff and my coworkers. I continue to be humbled by the constant kindness provided to me by those I am supposed to be careing for, and by the many who have walked this path before me.

Thanksgiving
The path came back today and it had no lymph nodes and the tumor was
shrunk to about 4mm or smaller, ie the chemo worked very well at
knocking it out, was hard to locate at all. So, it appears that I will
not have to do radiation, which is very good. I will have to do one chemo drug every 3 weeks for 6 more months. I started this last Monday.
