Swedish visit

Yesterday I met with a surgeon at Swedish. Today I'm meeting with an entire team at SCCA. The appointment is from 12:00-5:00. My gut feeling is that I'm going to go with SCCA. I haven't even met this surgeon yet, but it makes sense to get treatment where I work, and it's the one that feels right. I guess I'll know after today. It will be interesting to see if this surgeon says the same thing as the one I saw yesterday. If so, I'll mostly likely be getting additional diagnostic testing done to determine if the other 2 suspicious areas are cancerous. I'm still hoping to get a lumpectomy as opposed to mastectomy and I want to exhaust all options to go that route. Even if it means another MRI. Actually, it would be a biopsy under MRI. I'm not even sure how that would work. If, in the end, mastectomy is the most reasonable choice, then so be it. I'll go for the bilateral mastectomy and then get new boobs! A little light in my storm and not a bad birthday present when I turn 41 :)
