But not a very patient one!
I've at least got a diagnosis, it's invasive ductal cancer grade 2, but still small, oestrogen receptive but looks as if I might get away with the lymph nodes....and maybe not too much treatment afterwards?
Complex plan, but to begin with, a sentinel node (plus another one or so) removal as day surgery, (a nuclear medicine visit first to get 'the jab' for them to trace) then a gap while that, plus the HER result come back, then because of my previous surgeries for cysts and the fact one resulted in a massive haematoma, therefore scar tissue, I will have a complete mastectomy with an implant. That will be immediately after Easter.
By finding out as much as possible beforehand, the surgeon hopes to prevent too many operations. Obviously I will then need Tamoxifen or similar, so will appreciate helpful advice about that.
But I'd be interested on anyone's 'take' on her plan. I feel reassured that she took time with me, and the BC nurse afterwards spent a good while too.

I think I’m on too many meds…..every so often I take all the empty blister packs to Superdrug for recycling, I’m glad they get recycled rather than chucked in landfill….but I find I’m needing to do that a bit often! Sadly when I go there I find there’s usually stuff I’m tempted with in other shops….its too super-easy to pay!!! 
in other news, I’ve not worn the tubigrip on my knee at all today and have walked over 2 miles….-and no pain

That’s one big worry done then, Jayhay let’s hope that’s all the dentistry you’ll need for a long time (well, apart from getting used to denture replacement, that is)
yes, taking it easy is the way to recover quickly. That washing will hopefully get done and dry eventually, just don’t rush it!
i know, I’m really pleased about my knee, i was a bit concerned about it but felt I needed to rely on my own muscles keeping the knee stable (vastus medialis for them who know!) which in spite of the aches, I’ve kept steadily exercised. I do a good hour or so of intervention at bedtime, anything from necessary massage and stretching of the rads-affected chest area, to wriggling my toes, with pelvic floor exercises in between! I sometimes think I should try and go to bed earlier

Started to go out for a walk, looked at the clouds and retreated; but it didn’t rain so I went out a bit later!
I know grey squirrels are a pest but they are also cute, this one had hardly a care in the world that I was near!
