Feeling positive

Post-Op day. Saw Dr Link and he said everything looked really good from the pathology after surgery . Still need to send my tumor off to a lab that will grade my risk of recurrence and determine treatment, but he thinks everything looks really good.  Then saw my surgeons and everything was looking good.  Got one more drain taken out.  Super creepy feeling, by the way, and by the look on Stephanie's face as they did it, I'm guessing it looks pretty creepy too. Two down, two to go. But Dr Gaon says I can have the other two removed on Tuesday., so yay, almost done!  He may even start doing the expansion next week too.  A little nervous about starting that, but the sooner we start the sooner it's all over.  Met a new friend that stopped by the Breastlink center to say Hi and got to see how amazing she looks 3 weeks post op from the final reconstruction surgery and made me feel super hopeful and optomistic about my future. So overall a pretty good day, but the best part was that I got to take a shower, a real shower, and it was amazing!!!! :).  Feel like I had hit the bottom last week, but I'm definitely on my way up! :)
