Surgery scheduled

I met with the surgeon again today, Dr. Volz. He held my hand as he explained the kind of cancer that I had and what my options were to remove it. He said I had two options, breast conservation (lumpectomy) or to do a mastectomy- one side or both. I said I did not want a mastectomy as it seemed to be a small lump- measuring about 1 inch from what could be felt and measured on the ultrasound. My biggest concern was that I did NOT want to have chemo. I didn't feel sick, I didn't need it. Dr. Volz assured me that we wouldn't worry about any of that and get the surgery done first. They scheduled my surgery for two days later. Lumpectomy and sentinal node, which I still didn't know what that was at the time.
