Hi all 

I’ve had my surgery today took four hours but they managed keyhole which is a relief. No bed in the gynae oncology ward so I am in Breast Cancer ward side room, which is same ward my mum was in 31 years ago. Hoping I will be allowed home tomorrow, Ive got a bit of a temp and no fans because of covid, so anyone going in soon, take a hand fan! My BP is low as well which is unheard of for me so trying to drink water, which means I then have to go to toilet, which is painful Feel like I’ve been run through the mill but I am here to tell the tale, onwards and upwards now 4.5 weeks to daughters (very small) wedding and family gathering in garden afterwards,

    Hi Lizz, So pleased for you that the surgery is over and they managed to do keyhole. It’s amazing how much of a relief you feel when you’re told that. Probably because it means a shorter stay in hospital (all going well) and a shorter recovery period. You take it easy, don’t rush things and definitely no heavy lifting. All going well you’ll be in fine health for your daughters big day. I hope it all goes well for you.

    Take Care

    Thanks! Hopefully home tomorrow(well today-it’s 3am) just had obs and some morphine. 

  •  Hi Lizz

    Great to read surgery is over and done by keyhole. much quicker for healing but when you get home take it easy and don't overdo things. I avoided bending and lifting but tried to walk a bit each day. 

    Onwards and upwards, how's the mask hunting going?
