Mascetomy recovery

Hi Ladymel welcome to the forum.

I hope that you dont mind me saying but it is only 12 days since your op and that is very early days yet to recover from such a big op.

Your poor body has been through the mill and you have had major surgery which will take time to heal and with that will come some energy but right at this point in tie its rest for you and take it easy.

It could be sometime yet before you feel remotely human again so be kind to yourself. and take it easy. 

Thank you Gail, it's difficult when everything is so new and also I've noticed that as soon as I have been getting dressed people think.. Oh she's up and dressed she must be better and the demands of life.. Children on Christmas holidays etc start to creep back quickly.. 

I should of remembered that from my ceasaran days.. Keep in those pyjamas! 

Hi ladymel

like you I had a mastectomy but just the one breast after reoccurrence of the same cancer. I’d also speak to your gp/me specialist or nurse to ensure it’s not reared it’s ugly head again. Remember having had me will also potentially extend your recovery time. Stick to the pjs and just get checked about the me. Remember it is major surgery and don’t go over doing it as ultimately no one will thank you for it. 
takr care and sending you hugs xx

Hi

Glad you are healing well. I think 10 days is still very early days yet. When I have my mastectomy I was hardly out of bed for the first two weeks as I was being sick due to the antibiotics. So I think you are doing brilliantly. 
My nurse told me the body uses up a lot of energy trying to heal so rest when you feel like it.

Good luck with you recovery Tina x
