0715 Dr Hatjit, surgeon doctor, visiting.
0805 Dr Azrif, oncology doctor, visiting. He said look at the image from lymphoscintigraphy, lymph node should be safe. And base on tumor size, it should be stage 1.
0815 Going to operation room. At level 2. Dr Harjit wearing pretty cap 😀. Anesthesia doctor also wearing nice cap 😀. Not those standard blue color cap.
1100 Nurse wake me up in the recovering area.
1105 Back to room. Don't see drainage bag under arm, so my lymph nodes should be safe. Luckily!
1210 Still got little dizzy. Can not eat yet.
1330 Start having lunch. Sow Moy and Lay Yung are here.
1500 Still little dizzy, but can not sleep. So wake up and do some work online.
- Doctor Harjit said, using lymphoscintigraphy instead of blue dyed liquid solution for the sentinel node detection.
- Took out sentinel lymph node for lab test, removed tumor and intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT).
- Overall, didn't see any drainage bag near underarm, so assuming lymph nodes are safe. Hence, not expect for further external radiotherapy and also chemotherapy. But tamoxifen for few years for sure.
