In July I had a mammogram. I'd had no problems so it was just routine. One of the nurses mentioned a blur on the screen but it seemed fine and I left thinking there was nothing wrong. Then I was sent an appointment for further investigation. I wasn't worried. My cousin had that happen and she'd moved during the mammogram so I was convinced it was that.
Turned out I was wrong and after a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy, it was obvious there was a problem. Two weeks later I got the result and arrangements were made for a lumpectomy on my left breast. I had the surgery and reacted to the anaesthetic by bringing back anything I was given, including water, so I had to stay in overnight. That was four weeks ago today. Two weeks ago I had the drain removed, which made me a lot more comfortable, and I'm now waiting for my results and to know the next step.
Honestly though, I feel fairly useless. I'm still sore and get tired easily and I didn't think it would be like this. I want my energy back and to do things, and that's not happening. I did have a stroke two years ago at the end of November and my left side was affected. I couldn't talk, eat or think properly and lost the use of my legs and left arm, but I did the therapy and got better, not as good, but good enough to do stuff, and it's frustrating to be like this now.
Patience, as you probably noticed, is not my strong point.
