    BP issues resolved, not too much pain apart from a headache, and some nausea. Had a shower! Am walking unsupervised (been many a long year since someone had to supervise me doingvthat!), and best of all the bowels are moving!!   :)<3:* to you all.  Kate xox

    @kmakm Wow, the best news to wake up to!! So proud of you & so happy that your BP & temp issues are resolved. Onward & upward now! Hopefully you will continue to gain strength now & the fact that you are walking is such a huge step forward......no pun intended!! We all said you were a strong lady & you have proved it yet again. It must have been the best shower too & to get the bowels moving is a BIG step after surgery & that will continue to improve now that you are mobile. Keep up the great work & hopefully that nagging nausea & headaches will subside also. take care & so happy that you are over the worst. Love & Hugs xxxx

    KATE!! I'm SO HAPPY to find this thread! @kmakm you ROCK! and thank you @Joannie for creating it.
    I haven't had much of a chance to be on the main discussion boards since you had your op and I've just been going straight to checking the 'Kate's countdown commences' thread every day and have been 'plotzing' (yiddish for 'beside myself') that you hadn't responded to any comments on there - I've been so worried about you and now I'm so happy to hear you're ultimately doing so well!
    Just caught up with your whole story every day since your op - wow, what a journey! 
    I'm honestly so thrilled that you are on the other side of surgery and wish for you only that every day will be better and better. I'm echoing the words of every single person who has commented here - such an amazing network - and will definitely be checking in every day to get your updates.
    Blown away by your hospital breakfast! OMG - so beats powdered scrambled eggs!
    Please be kind to yourself and rejoice in every baby step forward. You have come such a long way and you are such an incredible inspiration to so many of us who are walking in your footsteps in our own ways.
    I can't stop smiling to have found this thread! :smiley:
    Sending you bucket-loads of love, healing thoughts and gentle virtual hugs,
    Yvette xxxx

    @kmakm your sheer courage in sharing this part of your treatment is astounding as you are showing how it is and that you are getting through this warts and all. I would like to see this “diary” of your days kept if possible for future breast cancer people - how about it @BCNA. It is quite a gift you have given us all - Thankyou so much @kmakm XO

    Hey @kmakm

    Glad to hear you are feeling somewhat better.  Flick that maxalon and ask for the ondansetron.  It's on the PBS now so they don't have to be so stingy with it lol. 

    All the best lovely.

    @Eastmum Oh gosh Yvette, your virtual smiles have made me smile! You are so kind with your words, I truly appreciate it. And the gentle hugs. Wouldn't want squeezy ones at the moment!

    I'm trying to be kind to myself. It's difficult when you're not going as well as you hoped/expected. Those negative voices get very loud sometimes.

    @kezmusc They've been giving me both. They seem to alternate. Nausea not as bad today and I haven't needed any yet  :)
