Hi LizzieV , I'm reading this again, you must be finishing radiation treatment hopefully. Hope everything is going well.
I'm having another surgery, as the first lumpectomy didn't have clear margins.
Hi Paulina
Today is my last day for radiation (20 fractions), public holidays slowed the process a little, apart from a very sore boob I haven't had too much fatigue, just the odd day & probably my fault for doing too much :), I was lucky enough to have my husband doing the driving as I live rural & had about 1.25 hours each way so I am sure that has helped, but I have managed to juggle my work hours etc & am okay.
I hope your second surgery goes well, its not as scary second time round & the surgeon knows exactly where they need to go back in to from all the path reporting, I remember asking my team how they know & apparently its all recorded like a compass so it was pretty quick day surgery, I think mine was booked for 8am & I was back on the road by 1115
Take care
