COUNTDOWN TO SURGERY

Hi Jules

Glad to hear it all went well and you are up and about. Fingers crossed for the histology results. I hope you have a good weekend!

Hi Jules, it’s great to see you here and I’m so glad you’re doing well with your recovery. Best advice I heard on here was “listen to your body” - for me that meant doing a bit more when I felt like it, and doing less when I didn’t, and not doing something again if it didn’t feel ok. All in all I too was surprised how well I felt. That can make it tempting to do more than we should, but as long as you remember the guidelines, listen to your body and take occasional time to rest (preferably with feet up) you should be fine. For me, in the early recovery days, for every half hour or so up and about I had a sit down for 5-10 mins. Hope you continue to recover well and please feel free to ask any questions. 

Hi Jules65.

Congratulations and it sure looks like your positive gave you wings.

All the best for speed recovery 

Had a call from my lovely CNS yesterday just checking again how I was recovering (2 wks post-op) and making sure I had no issues.  Confirmed that they expect my histology results back in time for next weeks Friday MDT and I should have my follow up appointment first week July.  

So I have another 10/14 days believing they 'got it all'

Yes I felt exactly the same. Obviously you are through surgery now as I am how are you getting on ? My wound is not healing too well but they reckon I will be ready for chemo 11th July.

HI Elaine, I am doing well and my wounds are healing nicely (my surgery was laproscopic). Sorry to hear yours is not the same, hope this improves quickly.  I would have thought this will need to be healed before chemo can start although I have no idea in reality. How long ago was your surgery?

As of yet I don't know if I need any further treatment so I am keeping fingers crossed.

Hi Elaine, did you have open surgery or laparoscopic? I had laparoscopic, with three wounds, one of which took longer to heal than the others but it eventually did before my radio started. 

Hi Jules65.

Hope MDT covers you as expected today and all the best for your results review.

Hi CrumpetsOrToast,

Thanks for your message.  Just had a call from the secretary and my results review is on Tuesday afternoon, so not too long to wait.  Fingers crossed 

Jules

Thinking of you as you wait for Tuesday Jules.
