      Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Mary. I wondered about the soreness, etc. I'm hopeful it won't be too bad, but so glad I'm getting to go regardless πŸ™‚

      Thanks for the encouragement πŸ™‚ It was just pretty red at the time – she didn't feel it warranted removal nor did she think insurance would pay for the removal. I should have insisted – but just figured she should know what she was talking about. I was clearly wrong about that.

      Thanks for the reply, Kim.  I figured a SNB was in my immediate future along with the wide excision, based on what I read on the web. How long does it take to get the results back generally? I'm kind of foggy on time frames here, but was told by the cancer center to expect them to move rapidly.  I'm glad about that though, as of course my general feeling is "get this crap offa me!!!" 

      I was supposed to leave for a 3+ week vacation on the 31st to Glacier National Park and then onto Calgary for the arrival of my first grandbaby – but I have pushed those plans back due to this coming up. Hopefully, I can get on with treatment and get back to going to see the mountains and my grandson as soon as I can.  Talk about epic bad timing πŸ˜‰
