Monday I got the phone call that we would be going the route of surgery due to the fact that we have already hit 1/2 of this lymph node with radiation and they don't believe radiation alone would get rid of it.
Today I called with some questions to get some more information. They are still working to move things around and get me scheduled ASAP. The surgery is an inpatient surgery which will be primarily performed by my gynecologic oncologist and there will potentially be a urologist in there as well.
There is discussion about other treatments if needed after but as for now we are planning on the lymphectomy surgery and seeing what it looks like once they get in there. I can look forward to a 6-8 inch scar starting at or above my belly button and moving down. Can't they do a tummy tuck while they're in there?
