Well it's been 3 weeks since I had my op. Feel ok although now have a rock hard boob! Seeing my consultant today to discuss the next part of my journey so hopefully he'll be able to dispel my worries about it. I'm chuffed with myself really as not had to take any painkillers and the brushing and swelling went really quick! But now I have this hard boobie which doesn't hurt but I struggle to squeeze it in my bra! Fingers crossed I can get rid of this and start my next part of my treatment.
Well done that's great news! I'm 5 weeks post mastectomy & ANC....isn't it just the best day when the surgeon tells you they got it all. 
My follow up appointment with him was very short and for a while when I came out, I had to convince myself that was really what I heard. But then I thought well I would have been in longer if there was more to talk about!! Then my oncologist & radiotherapy consultant both said the next time I saw them, "I see you've had excellent results". I start radiotherapy next week and I am also on hormone treatment and will have Herceptin/perjeta until October. So I'm still on the journey but it does feel different now I haven't got cancer and this is just to help it not return in future. I feel fab and am getting on with life. It does feel odd some days if I think for a moment....has it really gone? But I don't let that thought hang around.
All the best for your chemo....I had mine before surgery. It's not as bad as you imagine it will be and you'll be surprised how quick those 7 months pass. x
