Operation yesterday

Less than one minute read time.

I had the lump removed and a sentinel node biopsy yesterday.  I went in at 7.30 am.  I was taken down for radioactive injection in the morning.  It was a little painful as radiologist explained it was going between layers of skin.  I read a book and listened to music.  I got so hungry because I hadn't eaten since the night before.  I went to theatre at 3.30pm and back on ward around 6.  I woke up in a lot of pain but was given painkillers.  I was home by 8.30pm wearing very glamorous compression socks.

Two week wait for results now.  I was told 20% chance of further surgery if margins not clear.  It's going to be hard.
