Good morning on this bright sunny day guys and gals. Thought id give a update on my mastectomy yesterday. I can officially say that Bob has now been evicted from his boob home although the little blighter took offence and took his home with him. I didn't know if I was coming or going yesterday with the rollercoaster of emotions that was going on and once it was over I felt as high as a kite for the rest of the day. This morning I feel a bit sickly but I guess that's due to the rest of the drugs leaving my body and the massive changes that have happened. Now is the second day of my fight to be cancer free and there is no way that I'm letting any of Bob's little playmates get/stay in and take up permanent residence. As scary as this is for all of us i hope anyone new to cancer reading this will take heart and know that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi Missi K thank you so much. You're right in that it's a lot less painful than expected. I've still to wait for the results of the lymph node biopsies but even now I feel so much lighter (no pun intended) I feel as if half my battle has been won. I feel quite sickly today but I know its just the after effects of the anaesthetic so should be back to normal tomorrow.
I ended up staying in hospital overnight as I found it difficult to come round from the anaesthetic and also felt quite sickly but by the following day I was fine.
I know what you mean , I felt the same having the tumour removed. I also had two positive sentinel nodes so ended up having auxiliary clearance 2month later. Hopefully you won’t need that .. fingers crossed and will be done with surgery .
I've got my toes crossed as well Missi K on that one. I should have the results in 6 to 8 weeks they said yesterday. The sickly feeling is starting to ease off now thankfully. I hope you are keeping well and that everything is still going in a positive direction for you hun.
Hi, so pleased you are home safe and sound. Wishing you a speedy recovery Xx
Thanks Lovetowalk I'm glad I managed to be in and out on the same day. It's surprising how much better you feel by just being in your own home xx
