So surgery happened yesterday.
Nine hour wait time, then another six hours in total for the surgery, recovery and observations. I was so dehydrated by the time I got in there, I barely had any veins available for the cannula! Everybody who looked after me throughout my 15 hours at the hospital were absolutely amazing as were the other women on the ward who freely shared their own journeys as we waited.
I'm sore and tired, but happy that the lump is gone and my surgeon is now the proud owner of five of my lymph nodes which are going to tell us what happens next.
But for now, it's chill time.
