Well I had my mastectomy on 10th May which went as well as can be expected. Turns out me and general anaesthetic don't mix!
Onwards we went - now had two aspirations for seroma but otherwise everything seems to be going okay.
Had my first meeting with my oncologist on 25th May, was told of the chemo treatment plan being either a) 6 cycles over 18 weeks or b) 4 cycles over 8 weeks followed by 4 cycles over 12 weeks.
But then, at the follow up meeting on 31st May, the treatment changed. Now "signed up" to 4 cycles over 8 weeks followed by 12 cycles over 12 weeks - eeks!!
To add insult to injury I've also got to have a pump. Mainly because they can only use my right arm having had an axillary clearance and my veins are not the best.
