Happy Anniversary to the stump

A year ago today I had my lumpectomy. At the time I was bald as an egg and done with systemic chemo not quite having realized I had 18 treatments remaining for a grand total of 24. I knew I would be undergoing radiation therapy once I recovered from surgery. I had only had one previous procedure involving anesthesia (the installation of the porta Cath). I anticipated a great deal more pain than I experienced I think I took 2 Tylenol with codeine after surgery and 2 regular Tylenol the following day. This was not a massive procedure, less than 50 grams of cancer and margins were removed.  Surgical glue meant no need to remove sutures, and 1 week later we started throwing in the hatchet league.
