@El.mumof2 so glad to hear you made it through the surgery. Im 6 weeks post single mastectomy/diep flap recon, also 7hr op, its a really big op. I couldn't have pain relief because it made me too sick, so had a tough time of it. It is hard to not worry, but honestly right now just put your time into healing, nothing else matters. Just because they took your lymph nodes NO it doesnt mean it is in them, mine were taken in 2015 at a Lumpectomy but I was told the next day if there was any node involvement. One step at a time, just think about YOU right now as that's all you can control, hang in there, you will be ok...keep putting your thoughts down and we're all here to help support anyway we can. Big hugs youre doing great! Melinda xo
