Hello ladies,
I am home now after the wide incision and removal of the tumour and ?4 lymph nodes and await the results from Dr on Thursday. Delaying the surgery by those couple of days seemed to work well for me as I had the Dr's favourite people able to work with him in theatre for my surgery on a Saturday morning - so yet another valuable lesson in TRUSTING THE PROCESS. My recovery has been great thus far and I found the exercises the physio gave me very helpful and am actually doing them regularly :) She also showed me that target had Post-Op Bras for $20 and lo and behold the first Target store I went into had them. I had tried the "R bras' as advertised on the tele but there was not nearly enough support for a D cup much less DD.
I am hoping and asking my angels and the Universe to ensure no cancer was in my lymph nodes and my course for this journey will be simple and safe. If, however, the results are otherwise I will deal with that at the time.
I felt VERY comfortable going under with the wonderful staff and very confident that the best result would be achieved by the Dr and his team, as was possible. I am a bit concerned about the radiation but will cross that bridge when I come to it. I hear some people are quite sick with it and others have no signs except a bit of "tan".
Thank you all for your wonderful messages - although I could not post while in hospital due to the iPhone not wanting to allow me to log in, I was still able to receive all our essays vie email. THANK YOU. It really helped.
Keep up the good work on here and I hope to be able to give back something in the near future. :) <3
