hey sisters!

Hi Rowie and crew out there

Thanks about advice on bio Oil.

Do you have a McGrath breast Centre in your area that you can call and speak to a breast nurse to ask any of the questions you have about exercise etc....

I have been in contact with both the breast nurse through the McGrath Centre and at the hospital I had surgery at and they are there for you and will answer any questions you have.  Sometimes I have had to leave a message and they will call back.

One question that I have still and will ask when I go back to my post op at end of month.  Why don't they just remove all the lymph nodes in the first surgery rather than putting you through the trauma of the second surgery.  It is very hard on your body and your family to go through two lots of surgery in such a short period of time.  My work has very much had to go on hold.  Pretty much my whole life has gone on hold for however long this journey is going to take I am guessing.

I need to stay positive and say I have endured and survived 2 surgeries, bone and CT SCAN which I did find quite difficult plus the lovely drain mmmmmm (our hospital will only leave the drain in up to 7 days maximum so I was so lucky there as I was definitely over carrying my lil bag around by that time so I feel very sorry for anyone who has to carry it any longer, it reminds me of having a lil puppy on a lead with you 24 hours a day when you shower, toilet, walk and so on.  I kept looking for it for the day after I had it removed so that was a strange feeling.

I guess I am to count myself very lucky as there is so many people out there at loss worse off than me but doesn't stop me having a winge.
