Thanks @sister & @salpal for your love & support. I hope you are feeling better day by day @sister. I was truly thinking of you when I was waiting for my surgery & "holding your hand" & wishing us both a good outcome. Sorry you have been feeling ill but know we are all sending you our love & strength. I came out of hospital Friday & then had a 2 hr drive home. I am in so much pain as the surgeon not only gave me a lumpectomy but also cut a flap of skin/flesh to fill in the gap so she "did a lot of work on me". I have spent the last 2 days home crying & in lots of pain but the love & support I have received from this forum along with family, friends & BCNA have blown me away. I had a call from the breast care nurse from the hospital yesterday & had numerous visits while in hospital. I got my pink satin cushion & berlei post-op bra & other goodies to help me through. It has been a very humbling experience, receiving so much support from people I hardly know or have never met. You build friendships for life! I hope to see my family for Christmas tomorrow. It will be quiet but it will give me a chance to thank them for their love. I am with you @sister all the way through your rehab & we will continue to improve day by day. To everyone out there recovering or about to undergo surgery, I am with you all the way & wish you strength in the days ahead. I hope everyone can enjoy some happy times over Christmas & New Year & be thankful for the support we have & the love we share with family & friends. xxxx
