Hi all

I finally got good news today.  There was no cancer in the nodes my surgeon took last month.  I'll be having Radiotherapy and maybe chemo.  The last month since my operation has been a rollercoaster as I was hospitalised with an infection and was in hospital for eleven days.  My wounds were also leaking so I had to have dressings on them.  I finally got one of the dressing off today when I was at the breast clinic but still have one wound leaking though it isn't leaking much so I should be able to have the other dressing off next week.

Best wishes everyone.

  • That is great news Daisy53.  Great to see good news.  I wish you well with your next treatment.  Hugs xx

  • Well done you getting through the last month. It's all quite stressful, getting through each step and working on healing. Positive vibes and prayers for all to heal well. It's one year since I realised something was going on with my breast. 

    Enjoy what you can, rest well, daytime TV is there for a reason. Such a strong woman, we have to be sometime.
