Thanks Jules. So sorry for the stuff up at radiation .... i would have been bawling too. Well done on having the treatment time lessened!! Hope that happens to me as am 65 this year. Was hoping not to need radiation .... but it is better than having chemo, I guess. Hehe I was thinking he could have taken some fat from MY belly too .....I have more than enough to spread around - wouldn’t mind donating it to o5er worthy causes if needed! LOL! It DOES look a little like a pancake just now. Tho Probably sit better when the dressing is off.
I am rural as well and we had similar happen with my husbands cancer treatment back in 2010 ... went to Sydney for 1st appointment of the day CAT scan, arrived and told we had no appointment! Grrr the entire week/surgery depended on that one scan ... I spat the dummy big time and said we were not leaving until it was done. In tears to our diagnostician in Taree who then rang them .... 5pm - we got the scan. I can be very stubborn, even a pain in the Axxx when needed!! LOL

Woohoo, good news this morning tho...., my follow up appt has been brought forward to jan 29Th for dressing change and result discussion with surgeon. So that also means I will now be able to be in Forster for Keith carrying the Commonwealth Games baton on Feb 2nd!! Yeehaaa. :smile:
fingers crossed it all heals well ... one bit is a little red but not hot. Will keep an eye on it. Guess I won’t ‘see it’ till the dressing comes off. The bra I wore yesterday aggravated it (got some blood around the nipple) so took it off ..... hanging free. Haven’t worn a bra in 40 years, so maybe the nipple is just not used to it. Funny to see the nipple free of the dressing!!
Cheerio
