Well saw a new doctor in the same practice. (the one who did not remove the right breast for me)They said sorry we feel embarrassed
and the doctor does have some health issues so it was probabley better he did not continue the surgery. also tell me this. He was going to take out a few of my lymph nodes on the right to check when they removed that breast , the dye was still in my boob after surgery. yesterday they explained they do not need to take out any nodes on the right side. The right has no signs of cancer so taking the nodes would be pointless and do more harm. So a different surgeon will be taken off the right breast on Wed July 9. I am confident that he will do a good job they just want me taken care of without any futher problems and done. I do not meet with an oncologist till Aug 4.
I guess I have time to heal and get ready for the next step. I am still waiting path report and should get it tomorrow. I need to be more verbal. I guess I was taught speaking my mind was rude or bad manners I have to get over that and learn I am important enough to make myself heard. I am a non confrotational person Keep ya up to date.

Jane I am so happy that this experience was much better than the last. It has been an awful lot to endure. Hang in there and let us know what's happening with you. You're in my prayers. Jane
What does your insurance say about the second surgery. Would there have been some difference in cost had he done the right breast while in the first place?
You have enough to deal with fighting this cancer, you don't need extra complications. Let your husband ask for you.
I hope that you remain strong but don't back down if you feel someone does not appreciate the value of how you feel when it comes to your health and well being. I'm sure your husband can be a tremendous help to you in speaking up even if he doesn't really understand exactly what you are experiencing. I'm hoping and praying for good health for you, strength in your marital relationship and triumph in beating this cancer.
I will be praying for youI'm so sorry that you've this tough experience with the other doctor. I don't know if your decision to remove both breasts is what you should do but I do think that if the doctor did not want to do it he should have provided more counseling for you and then let you make up your mind.
