I have had a Double Mastectomy, my biggest fear was not waking up. I had the Mastectomy , woke up , had good movement and returned to normal pretty quickly I've just had a Hickman line inserted and met a lady in the room who told me she just had a peg, feeding tube, she was so calm about it and she was on a drip. I suddenly felt ok about tubes going wherever , not sure about the bladder, that might need more work , but hey. Life is as it is. Enjoy it.
Hi, what a positive post, ti's good to hear that you are doing ok and feeling good. Thanks for sharing
Apparently my Hickman line makes the Chemo much faster, happy days!! Wasn't impressed with it at first but all is good.
Mine was sore for the first couple of weeks but I had my first chemo 24 hours after it sent in and that affects healing I think. Now it’s settled it’s brilliant for chemo and bloods.
