Jeannie,

If you want the second opinion, get it. A few days will not hurt. Cancer isn't going to take over your body in a matter of 7-10 days. I encourage the second opinion, and it will ease your mind.

But sammons is one of the best cancer centers there is on Texas (second to MD Anderson) and it's a great place to have your surgery. Lumpectomy are often a day surgery, but you'll be there most of the day.

I was going to suggest talking to TXVicki. She helped me a lot when I first got my diagnosis and had my surgery.

Ask your dr about the superglue if they have to do a mastectomy- I was able to have my drains out in a matter of days versus weeks, because of the glue they used to "stitch" me up
