A new journey!
This is my first blog post for this "journey". After discovering a large lump in my L breast at the end of July this year, I was soon diagnosed with invasive DC. A week later I had a lumpectomy and 4 lymph nodes removed, but had to return 2 weeks later for mastecomy (which was now 2 weeks ago). Most of my discomfort is coming from the lymph node site, and have since developed a few seromas and cording - working with physio to manage these. I start chemo in a few weeks and have felt very encouraged to read other people's stories of how they have managed/are managing their treatement.
It has certainly been a wild ride over the past 6 weeks, but I'm very grateful for the wonderful specialists and treatment we have available to us. Am happy today as I've just bought a few crop top bras (with shaped inserts) for only $10 each and finally feel that I look nice and balanced again. The free bras that were received didn't really suit me, and the soft form insert kept riding up!
Look forward to being a part of this network, as I've never been a blogger before. Best wishes to you all travelling on this challenging path!
