Home Care after Mastectomy.

Great advice ladies, thank you.

The lovely Robyn has been in touch and has offered very kindly to call in on me as we live quite close and this offer is very much appreciated.

I have also contacted my clinic for a review of my case/file as there seems to be a CT or MRI scan that wasn't read in early December and their decision for me  to have a Mastectomy was thrown at me on Friday after their group meeting.

I felt helpless and in shock at the sudden change of treatment hence my need to take control and make contact through this network. 

A meeting has now been arranged with the Surgeon, whom I have never met, and a Breast Care Nurse for Friday this week as a result of sending a long email late last night. outlining my concerns relating to miscommunication regarding my diagnosis.

I have been sent plenty of  printed nformation but I was reading it with regards to HT and surgery for July/August this year.

I believe I will be having the Mastectomy in the first week of February but this will be confirmed on Friday.

Thank you again for such wonderful positive information. 

I will now concentrate on my work as a gardener, spring clean my flat and organise all my items so they are on the right level, including the tea caddy! 

The hardest part for me will be staying indoors during the day, 

Thanks.
