Hello ladies
thank you all so much I took everything you said on board and it has gone really well so far.
Had a long day on surgery day. In my opinion the hook wires were the worst.
My surgeon did an amazing job re-shaping my breast and nipple so it is certainly smaller now but still is a good shape.
I had 4 nodes taken and about a quarter of my breast ( lucky I had DD’s to work with)
waiting on pathology results until next Friday.
Only stayed 1 night in hospital and I would say moderate to uncomfortable pain. Not terrible at all.
I even took your advice and have my mum staying for a week and have let her and my partner do almost all the chores and cooking.
I cant believe I even said to my sister who I adore as she was coming over every day with her 2 small children that they are a bit loud and crazy to have over all day. I really love you all but unfortunately I need some quiet rest time for ME.
So thanks again gals I really appreciate the support. I am loving this site and feel like I am kicking cancers arse so far
