time line......as it stands right now :)

I guess I failed to say what the surgery schedule will be...and thanks Betty for pointing that out :)

On July 26th, I am to be at the Piper Surgery Center at 8:00 AM to register. Then I will be taken by shuttle bus to The Women's Center for the Nuclear sentinel node mapping, which is scheduled for 10 AM. Whenever that process is finished, I will be taken by shuttle bus BACK to Piper Surgery Center...to wait....surgery is scheduled for 1 PM. First will be the sentinel node biopsy, then the bilateral mastectomy, then the tissue expanders will be installed. I will probably be in my room by around 6 PM. And I am supposed to be discharged the next day by Noon :)

Now, what I was also told: Be at the Scottsdale Hospital at 8:30 AM to register there, (not the Piper Surgery Center) and the sentinel node mapping is done in Nuclear Medicine. Then I will be taken by the shuttle bus over to Piper Surgery Center after the first procedure is done. Surgery still on the books for 1 PM.

Guess I'll find out where I'm REALLY supposed to be and how the sentinel node mapping will be performed....once I'm in the right place at the right time! sheesh!!!!!
