10 sleeps to go

Hi to all,

only 10 sleeps left until my DIEP flap transfer, and I'm fit, well and ready to roll. In February my mammogram was clear on my one and only, and yesterday I had an appointment with my rads oncologist who was also happy with my health, saying that it was the best time to have the surgery.

Ive been swimming and waking, and going to the gym, so I'm as fit as I can be for the surgery, and hope that this will help me to recover better.

Ive got mixed emotions about the whole thing, mostly positive thoughts and a few nerves. Will be happy to put my breast prosthesis "Bertha" back into her "boob box" for the last time. 

My husband, kids and my friends have all been awesome through the last year and a bit, and are still good for a laugh and a cuddle when required. Here's to a week of it, let's get the job done.

Sending you all a big cuddle, and lots of thanks for your great support and fellowship along the way.

Cheers and lots of love, Trace ????????????

    Hi Trace,

    I am so happy for you and I wish you all the best for your surgery and recovery and that's awesome news about getting the all clear with your Mammogram you are an inspiration, I have recovered well from my surgery and I go and see my rads onc tomorrow for my follow up appointment and my surgeon on Friday for my follow up after surgery, things are great once you can take a step back and get back to normal, good luck for your surgery. Sending you a big cuddle and a huge smile.

    Love Anita xx

    Hi Tracey, exciting but nerve-wracking times, I remember it well!!

    Anyway, just wanted to wish you all the best for your surgery - it is a big op but you have prepared your body to make the best possible recovery, so I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for you.

    Look forward to hearing how it all goes. If you're up to it, feel free to post updates and photos into the Breast Reconstruction group, it is always good to have new stories and experiences to share.

    Best of luck, will be thinking of you. Jane xx
