YAY! Locations are back 'on' again, @Cindi .... go to your profile & you can add yours too ... just Sydney should be good enough ;)
I hope your results DO come thru quickly .... I went private for my surgery (public for Rads & Oncs) and it still took over a week! :( The waiting really DOES suck grrr
Any ongoing treatment (post Op) is usually dependent on your Pathology results (see if you can take a trusted person with you, as an extra set of ears .... it can be difficult to remember everything that was said, if just on your own. I also recorded all my early appointments too, so I could go over them again later, if I wanted to!) - You'll probably be seeing a Medical Onc (at least once, even if a courtesy appointment) in case you DO need tablets/chemo down the line - and a Rad Onc if Radiation is put on the table ... I also saw a Lymphedema specialist who took me thru the specific exercises/massages (post op) and what to look for, in case of lymphedema (fluid build up.)
haha I very much understand your joy of flinging the bra across the room ..... I was lucky & got my bra before my surgery - so actually wore it home & that also helped stop it flopping around with road bumps/gutters etc. But the cushion was the bees knees!
I've lost 5kg in the last 15 months ..... and would love to lose 5kg+ more ... but have plateau'd and definitely not overeating .... Apart from getting out in my kayak, I am not a real exercise enthusiast ..... :(
I hope the Ultrasound Tracer thingy today went well .... deep breaths for tomorrow xx Feeling a bit weepy is normal (I bawled when my hubby, brother & Sister In Law left me at the hospital!) Once in my room tho, I was FINE! xx.
take care, and all the best xx We're here, if you want to vent xx
