Hi girls
Surgery over, Im two weeks the other side today. Surgery went well, no cancer in my lymph nodes. I have been in a fair bit of pain i think from the tissue expanders, and I had one of the drainage tubes sitting on a nerve in my chest, so that was very painful - but thats gone now. Just having a lot of pain when the ps put more saline in to expand the tissue expanders. Think my poor old chest muscle is getting stretched alot, and the pain is also in my back alot, not sure if thats the way im sleeping or not??
Im just so releived that the surgery is over - now i have to look forward and start to get my life back.
