At this time next week, the surgery is over. Breast - saving. I assume that will remain that way, because even when placing the iodine marker (see info newspaper article) last Monday, there was no mass to see anymore.
So now, in addition to my vocal volume, I am also making noise from my lymph nodes and my chest. 🤣 You have been warned.

Last few weeks had been up and off. Fatigue came back around the corner and the itching and stabbing pain in my arms have also increased.
The latter gives stress.
It makes me sleep badly. And the bad thing is that stress is now driving the itch and pain again. To keep it cozy.

Had the last examinations and intakes of the week before the operation on February 4.
My heart is back to the level before chemo in percentage and therefore around 40% (of 50/ 60%) This 50/60% is normal.
Apparently, the hospital I've been walking around in the past few months needs a penny. Because, after at least 4 to 5 heart techos, I'm suddenly not echo-genic. pardon? Genic?
Yeah, well, some are hard to read from the side of echo.
Sure. You hadn't noticed that in all those 7 years?
We can better see the percentage of heart function when we make an MRI. I'm going to schedule that for you.
Don't. At the time, I seriously suffered a trauma from that. No MRI for the heart for me. But it's still good 40%? I don't have any complaints, so why an MRI?
Oh, no, if you have a trauma from it, we don't.

Yes, um, I'm not a revenue model. They're already making enough of me.

Last round today. Interview anesthesiologist and some more women ???? Four appointments, which can be done in one appointment as far as I'm concerned. My God, a waste of money.
Long story short, I'm approved.

So, everything is behind us in principle. The surgeon will call on Monday, because the referral for irradiation in the UMC is not out yet. I already had that suspicion when the cardiologist looked at me blurry and did not know that the surgery was already on the doorstep and was therefore not passed by the surgeon.
Communication, communication.
He did indicate that it was in my file.
Yes, I can hope that,.
But I didn't quite believe him, because he asked “what surgery” and came up with the answer himself a biopsy.
Neeheeeeeee, surgery under full anesthesia.
Oh, um. and he silenced.

I just called the mamapoil. Seemed smart to me, because I was immediately doubting the reference and my feeling was right. Incidentally, no need, because we are still well in time for that. Moreover, I'm not in such a hurry myself. 😜

And now hope that she doesn't accidentally amputate my chest in her chaotics anyway. 😳

2017 article in the Gooi- and Eemlander about the iodine marker. Coincidentally, this surgeon is in the article, also mine.

How I feel now that the surgery is so close?
Fine, though. More afraid of what the consequences are. Unable to move and fluid accumulation. In any case, a lymph node is removed and that can cause edema. And during surgery, they can only see how many lymph nodes need to be removed. Thumbs that it stays with one.
Think so, by the way.
