1 week post op with the surgeon

My post op appointment went very well.  She said that I was healing really well.  The pathology report came back and there was a total of 16 lymph nodes taken, of those, 3 were positive for cancer.  There was 2mm or less in each node which is tiny- so it appears that the cancer and just started to spread to my nodes, and handn't had much time to grow or multiply yet.  The tumor itself was about an inch long- yep, that is about how big it felt to me!  She got clear margins too.  Since it had spread to my nodes, it put my cancer stage at IIb- between IIa and IIIa.  She said I am kind of borderline for radiation, it is up to the oncologist.  The radiation could mess up my reconstruction, but for now they are continuing reconstruction anyway.  I am not really sure how much it would 'mess it up' because if the lymph nodes were under my arm, I would think the radiation would be there, rather than closer to the breast....I will find out more on monday though.  She also said my port looked good (it feels great!) and that I don't need to come back to her for a month.   Have I mentioned before that I LOVE my breast surgeon?  She is so kind and friendly.  She does not have the demeanor of a surgeon at all.
