The waiting game

Hi Mel,

I was discharged monday afternoon, but this is the first time I have been at the computer.

As always I had a bad reaction to the anesthetic so prefer not to remember the 4 days in hospital, I felt great for the first couple of days at home then seemed to hit the wall, I have had to have an afternoon rest the last couple of days, feels so strange but I have felt the benefit. I will see my Surgeon on Tuesday, get the pathology results and discuss whatever treatment they have planned for me - also get rid of these drains, I forget that I am attached and move off without them but don't get very far!

You have had a far more traumatic time than me, to have to go back in for more surgery must have hit you very hard, however of course it was the only thing to do and now the long road to recovery BUT how lucky are we that so much time, effort and money has been spent to make such huge steps forward in the treatment of Breast (and all) cancer, no matter how unpleasent it is we know that it is our lifeline so have to hang on tight. I know that I have not experienced it yet and am sure that I may curse it at times but have faith in the outcome and I can tell you feel the same.

keep listening to those deams!!

ps: being almost computer illiterate, I'm not sure how to add you as a contact - oh! the shame to have to admit my shortcomings!
