Had my op on the 1st came home on the 3rd am now in bed after doing too much yesterday cos I felt so "sharp" in the morning when I got up. My remaining drain has to be less than 50 mls in 24hrs before it can come out. Is there any one else out there similar to me. I had to stand my ground to get my immediate reconstruction at the risk of needing radiotherapy and further surgery (L nodal clearance) if the left side "calcifications" come back positive.
Even this major operation wasn't as shocking as the first afternoon in the breast clinic when they took 6 biopsies and then after sitting in a waiting room led me in to a room where they told me I had cancer after holding my hand looking earnestly into my eyes saying "you've had a really bad afternoon......." words that I will never forget.
Now I am waiting for the 16th when I will be told how bad it is really.
I still don't think I actually really believe this is happening to me. I am living someone else's life!
