Ok so here I am back after a while of not posting , I know I know slack on my behalf.
Update: finished radiation with not a single problem,skin was a little tight but by putting sorbolene cream on every morning,night and after every treatment saved my skin from the dreaded burn .
i'm now waiting for my op date of 31st October to get my reconstruction done and I'm going to the extra step on having a skin and nipple saving mastectomy on my left side and having it rebuilt at the same time as I was told that I have as much chance of having cancer in that side as I had in the right.
Sleep is being a bugger on tamoxifen taking ages to get to sleep and waking up 2 or 3 times during the night , other than that I'm going great , my hair is growing so much I had my first haircut a month ago and everyone keeps asking me if I'm going to keep it short as I look younger but I tell them no as I hate my hair short lol
