DIEP Surgery Done
Hi Ladies,
Well it is day 10 post surgery and I am doing very well but boy what a marathon it has been. There were no ‘major’ hiccups, thank goodness, even with fairly smooth sailing this operation...

So glad you are feeling better and I guess the tiredness is to be expected.You may have lost a fair bit of blood during surgery and ,for sure,the Tamoxifen makes us all tired.Do you need an iron supplement? I think you had Taxotere chemo didn't you?That is harder on your hair folicles.It took 10 weeks before I saw any hair start to sprout.It came through abit uneven but no bald spots.However,I've noticed that one side is thicker than the other. The thinner side is the side I lie on in bed- I put it down to that. If you were on your back alot in bed then that seems the likely explanation.Give it some time. Have a nice Christmas and don't overdo it during the lead up.
