Things changed already and then changed
again! As it stands now (and we are not
anticipating any MORE changes), Anne 
goes in for lumpectomy on Friday, the 
surgeon will also put a port in for future
chemo. It's outpatient so I'll bring Anne
home afterwards. Should be about a 2.5 hour
surgery for lumpectomy, sentinal node removal,
and putting the port in above the other breast.
About an hour to two hours to wake up 
from the anesthesia and then home to 
recover. Chemo should start within 3-5 weeks
of the sugery. 
chat with you soon!
