I'm sitting on my hospital bed waiting to be discharged. The operation went very well and the best bit was that the sentinel node that they biopsied while I was under was clear of any cancer cells, so no need to remove any more and do the auxiliary clearance, what a huge relief. I am still on cloud nine about that! I had totally convinced myself that the cancer had gone to the lymph nodes because…

Here I am sitting in my hospital room, operation tomorrow. I've been admitted, I've had the dye injected and the wire inserted bloods taken, and I've been questioned and questioned and then some more questions.

I was very pleased to get it done. Still three weeks to carry on with…
