Next step
hi all and hugs all round
has been a while since I have been on here other than a quick browse and search.
Just an update on where I'm at today and what has gone down so far
i finished my 4x 3weeklies and went onto do the weekly run. But had to stop at no7. The toes went numb and the pins and needles were making it difficult to get moving, and my fingers not as much could still do up buttons. My bones and joints are aching but bearable as long as I don't over do things.
So I am now booked for surgery on the Ist of May. Had my ultrasound and mammogram gone from 22 x 19 x13 mm to 16 x 19 x 17 mm. Report says slightly smaller. Don't know what I was expecting but hey surgeon has gone from partial mastectomy and reconstruction to a wide excision. Which will leave me with a wide cleavage, to So has to be good. It is still tethered to my skin and muscle and has vascularity (whatever that means).
I have been so tired it has been a struggle to keep up with the demands of an 11 year old. FACS have been fantastic as a foster child he comes with his own issues. They have organised additional mentoring sessions of an afternoon and this week he is at 4 day camp. It's been too too nice only having to consider myself.
Back at it tomorrow when I get him home. Just in time for me to phsyc myself up ready for surgery.
Got to have the dye test for which lymph glands are coming out at 8:30am on the day of surgery not at all sure what goes on there. I have just been trusting my team and doing what I'm told. At first I researched too much for my brain to cope with and got too scared of everything.
Will check back in when I'm free next time
