We are currently headed up to San Francisco for my CT/PET scan that is taking place this afternoon. I’m looking forward to the scan being behind me and putting food in my belly. 

Surgery will take place next Tuesday at 11am at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose. I will arrive at the medical offices at 7am to meet with my reconstructive plastic surgeon and see the breast surgeon to have the radioactive solution injected around the tumor for sentinel node tracing during surgery. I will then head into the hospital. As mentioned, for now I am going with a single mastectomy on the right side. Once we have final pathology and a better picture, I can determine if a prophylactic mastectomy on the left is warranted during my next surgery.

I will stay overnight at the hospital and should be discharged fairly early on Wednesday. Still working through all the pre-op procedures. I will be getting a COVID test Monday, and I need to speak with the anesthesiologist and general hospital staff. Things feel like they are moving quite quickly now. All the prayers and well wishes are deeply appreciated.
