Hello I'm new!

Morning! I'm doing okay. Still getting tired easily.  Going to try being a bit more active, walking each day  to build myself back up. And shift some weight that has appeared! just out a bath and shower and wounds are okay. I have got the sloshy boob noise but BCN says it should settle itself.  Did anyone else get that? I'm trying to talk myself into going to the local cancer support place. They have drivers who take you to your radiotherapy appointments.  I might need them, though some friends have said they'll help. Try to enjoy your shower! Take care and look after yourselves.  Xx J

Hi both 

I stoll have my drain unfortunately but hopefully it will be gone by Wednesday. 

Still swollen and spoke to BCN she said I had a bad reaction to anesthetic so hence my low blood pressure etc

But I'm up after a good night's sleep feeling better. Been doing some excersise only rolling shoulders etc but arm feels better. 

Told not to do to much but lucky I have husband at home to look after me. He took time off through work to do this. We both work full time so it's a big deal for us to be off together. I haven't kild him off yet

Glad to hear your both doing okay

I'm only 6 days in it feels longer

That's good you had a good sleep. You take your time and get better. I'm 15 days in and didn't have a Brian to deal with. Some days it feels ages and others it's been a whirl! 

Best to hold off on killing the hubby just yet!  

He has been an absolute God send I'm very lucky not like some. 

He has gone our for coffee and catch up with one of his work colleagues as he is missing work. 

I didn't want to go because of Brian ge is quite full now and sounds like a sloshing hot water bottle on my side.

Pain is manageable not looking forward to them taking drain out though heard its not nice. 

Waking up with a headache lately I think it's because I'm sleeping on my back. 

I don't know how you can get comfortable sleeping in any other position. If they do please pass this information on. 

Have you had appointment yet through ? 

It's the what's next and waiting 

Such a lovely day outside might just go and soak up some natural vitD

Have a good day

Hi sixty-one plus.

Did you have alot of pain under in your armpit,as your on day 15 has it got easier for you?

Hi m.glad your husband is being so helpful.mine went bck to wrk Monday and son bck to uni today,so I'm at home on my own for the first time since op xxx

I've been sleeping on the other side with a pillow supporting my arm and preventing hubby giving the boob a bump. Or try with the pillow under your arm/ back so you are slightly raised on your good side. Appointment for a chat with oncology on 29th. They do a clinic in my local hospital so I don't need to travel far for the chat. A bit further to go for treatment though. Enjoy the sunshine. X J. 

It's not so bad now but not back to normal.  If hubby gives me a hug I'm always saying don't squeeze me on that side. Everyone else gets a half body hug. Lol. There's a lot of healing to go yet but movement is good. 

It's a long day first time you're on your own. I slept quite a bit and last week had some visitors and end of week went out a walk with hubby. Just don't do too much. Rest, rest  rest. X J 

Hi both

Rest is important I think it varies from day to day. Yesterday had lots of energy today I feel drained pardon the pun. 

Not a lot to do apart from TV and books 

I sat outside for a bit but it's still chilly in the shade. 

I'm the same about the hugs 

My daughter bless her has arranged for me to go into her friend's salon and have my hair washed and pampered. As its difficult to shower and wash my hair properly. 

Csp85 are you still feeling pain on other side of your chest? 

I'm still getting numbness in my bicep and down my arm after stretches. It's getting better. Nurse said not to keep your arm still for to long

Hi m.

How lovely of your daughter to arrange that for you.i have only managed to wash my hair once with my daughters help.

My nibble on my other side is still a little sore yes.

I also have numbness in my arm.i havnt heard from my bcn since the day after coming home.

A blessing is I'm sleeping better now,didn't manage the shower yesterday but I'm going to try later when my husband is home.

Going to go for a little walk when my daughter finishes school this afternoon

Xx

Make sure you don't attempt to shower jntil his home. Enjoy your walk just watch you don't over do it.
