Thursday - Bike ride Last Oncologist visit before surgery

Met with Rosie and Z to go on a short bike ride on my lunch break. They are both just starting out biking but are really strong. I will be having a hard time keeping up with them pretty soon. We did intervals around the neighborhood.
.
Went to my last oncologist visit today to see Dr M with Ferit.. he was happy about my decision to get the axillary node dissection, since he was pushing for it from the beginning. . He also wanted me to push to get both surgeries done at the same time and he also said it was ok to remove my port !!! yey !!
He does not think that I will need radiation if everything comes out fine from the surgery.
.
He hugged me and said that he'd see me in 6 weeks, now why do I feel like a kid who is watching his parents drive away after having been dropped off to Summer Camp for the first time ?
.
He was my security blanket, felt like seeing him everyother week was keeping the c at bay..
.
My next step would be hormonal therapy since I am ER/PR+, and will be put to Tamoxifen those will be discussed in my next appointment with him.
