Hi everyone!
The best news ever!!! All the nodes were negative for cancer.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and well wishes.
The surgeon has told me to give it 4 weeks before going back to work or just be sensible about going back earlier. He was the MM was agressive so the surgery had to be too, hence the size of the wound. the graft did not take and will therefore take time to heal. There is overgranulation and still a lot of sluff but the dressing clinic nurse has cleaned a lot of that away to promote healing.
He also gave me a course of antibiotics as the swelling and lumpiness in the groin was a bit abnormal but he has explained what is normal and what is not and what to do in the future.
The macmillan nurse, Carol, gave me the chat about self examination etc and is something that just has to be part of my routine.
The first photo is of my mum and dad in the waiting area of the dressings clinic. they have stayed with me for the last 3 weeks and have been a great support and comfort. If anyone wants to rent them out I can let you have them at a good rate!! ah ahahh a
