Reeka's blog: "Cancer stuffs"

In about 5 hours, I go in for my lymph node mapping procedure. They will inject me with a radioactive tracer and three hours later, use a special geiger counter to locate the lymph nodes with the most concentration so they know which ones to remove and test in tomorrow's surgery. I will be getting a call later today telling me when my surgery will be tomorrow. I'll be admitted overnight and released Friday morning, barring any complications. I won't be online until I get back home *gasp*. I don't ask for things often, but it would be really cool if I had a collection of lucky rabbit's feet from the fu-gift shop. A lucky 7 bling would be fine too Thanks in advance < update > Just heard back from the hospital - I have to check in at 7am for an 8:30 surgery. So this time tomorrow, I'll have one less boob. < update 2 > zOMG, that just might have been the worst pain I've ever felt. She said it would feel like a bee sting... damn if any bee stung me that hard on my areola I would make it my life's mission to eradicate all bees. Three times! Looks like they're gonna have to take several lymph nodes tomorrow :/
